Jeannette Phillips

Director of Volleyball

[email protected]

Tennessee Tech

Division 1

Jeannette Phillips is in her ninth year as the head coach of the Tennessee Tech volleyball team in 2024 after being named the eighth leader in program history in December 2017.

The sixth campaign under Phillips' direction saw the 2023 squad overcome a sluggish start to OVC play, one that saw Tech facing an uphill battle halfway through with a 2-9 mark. The Golden Eagles soared to the finish line, winning each of their final seven matches of the regular season to secure a 9-9 OVC record and the No. 6 seed in the league's postseason tournament. Tech secured 13 or more wins for the third straight season, a first since 1997, 1998, and 1999. The Golden Eagles also tallied at least nine league wins for a program-record fifth consecutive season. 

For the first time in school history, the Golden Eagles secured three or more All-OVC First or Second Teamers for a third consecutive year. Senior middle blocker Skylar Boom and junior outside hitter Madolyn Isringhausen each earned All-OVC First Team honors, Isringhausen's second straight such nod and the third overall honor from the league. Sophomore setter Jordan Karlen locked down All-OVC Second Team recognition despite battling through injury during the season.

Phillips' fifth season in charge in Cookeville saw the Tech program continue its rise under her watch, posting the most regular season wins (17) and OVC wins (14) since 2008 for the second straight season. At 14-4 overall in OVC play, the Golden Eagles finished the season second in the final league standings, marking another trip to the OVC Tournament. Throughout the year, Tech won a program-record 10 straight league matches, representing the second-longest winning streak in school history and the longest since 1983. Additionally, the purple and gold swept Morehead State in the season series for the first time since 2014 and picked up just the fourth and fifth wins at Southeast Missouri in program history, securing the school's first-ever series sweep of the Redhawks.

For the first time since 2008, the Golden Eagles had four members earn All-OVC accolades, led by rookie sensation Jordan Karlen, who became the first player in league history to earn both OVC Setter of the Year and OVC Freshman of the Year in the same season. The first Golden Eagle ever to win Setter of the Year, the rookie was one of three Tech players named to the All-OVC First Team. She was joined by senior middle blocker Taylor Dorsey, who earned her third-straight First-Team honor, and sophomore outside hitter Madolyn Isringhausen. Junior middle blocker Skylar Boom picked up her second consecutive All-OVC Second Team accolade as well.

During her fourth season at the helm of the program, the Golden Eagles returned to the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, tying for fourth in the regular season standings after turning in the most total wins (16) and league wins (11) since the 2008 championship squad. The team was led by a trio of All-OVC selections (a first for the team since 2008), with returning junior middle blocker Taylor Dorsey and senior setter Ashley Hand earning First Team honors and returning freshman outside hitter Madolyn Isringhausen picking up Second Team accolades.

The 2022 squad turned in its first 4-0 start to OVC play since 1993 and set the program record for team blocks in a match with a whopping 22.0 at Morehead State. 

The 2020-21 season provided several challenges across the NCAA landscape, and in the OVC in particular, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league opted to postpone play to the spring while limiting teams to an OVC-only schedule, reducing the overall competitive season to just 16 matches overall. Student-athletes were also required to wear masks while in competition as well, just one of several protocols adopted for the protection of the players. 

Despite the challenges, Tech turned in a 9-7 mark in league action, finishing sixth in the final standings, typically good enough for a berth into the OVC Tournament. However, the league opted to reduce the field to just four teams because of the shortened season and COVID-19 protocols. Junior Taylor Dorsey turned in a breakout year under Phillips' guidance, garnering All-OVC First Team accolades while establishing herself as the top middle blocker in the league.

Year two of the Phillips regime saw a significant improvement in OVC play, winning four more games to tie for fifth place overall. Tech earned a spot in the 2019 OVC Tournament behind a 9-7 league mark, and 13-17 overall finish, the program's first postseason bid since the 2015 season. The Golden Eagles were led by a duo of All-OVC candidates during the campaign, including First-Team recipient Ali Verzani and Second-Team honoree Taylor Dorsey. 

It was an immediate impact for the Golden Eagles by Phillips and her staff in Cookeville in 2018, leading the purple and gold to a seven-win improvement in her first season in the Eblen Center. Tech turned in an 11-19 mark overall and 5-11 finish in league play, but saw significant strides from a competitive standpoint. JUCO transfer Ali Verzani and senior Rachel Thomas led the charge in the first year of the team's new culture.

Prior to taking the helm of the Golden Eagle program, Phillips served for four months at Missouri State University as the Lady Bears assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. Phillips helped lead Missouri State to one of its most successful seasons in program history, including the 2017 Missouri Valley Conference regular-season and tournament titles and the programs first-ever undefeated season in conference play. The Lady Bears made their 13th NCAA Tournament appearance and ended the 2017 season with a 28-6 record with Phillips on staff, achieving a No. 25 ranking in the AVCA Division I Coaches top-25 poll multiple times throughout the year.

Before arriving at Missouri State, Phillips coached spent three seasons on the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay staff as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator before a promotion to associate head coach following the 2016 campaign. She helped turn around a Green Bay program that won five matches her first year in 2014 to a 21-9 record and No. 75 RPI ranking her third season in 2016.

She coached one Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year and one AVCA All-Region selection while with the Phoneix. Green Bay appeared in the Horizon League tournament in 2015 and 2016 and reached the 2016 tournament championship for the first time since 2003 as well.

Prior to Green Bay, Phillips worked for two seasons at OVC rival Belmont University as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. The Bruins won the OVC Tournament and earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament in 2012, Phillips first year at Belmont and the programs first year in the conference. They also reached the conference tournament in 2013.

The Topeka, Kan. native got her start on a Division I staff as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Minnesota, where she worked with the 2010 Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year and helped the Gophers advance to the NCAA Regional Semifinals/Sweet 16 in 2011.

Her coaching career began as an assistant at Benedictine College from 2008-11. She also served as the head coach of the junior varsity team at Benedictine College. During her time with the Ravens, she helped the program finish second in the Heart of America conference. While Phillips was with Benedictine, she served as head coach for a year with Team KC Volleyball Club.

She also led the Sandshark Volleyball Club to victory in the Won Gold Heart Challenge and top finishes in the Power League and Omaha National Qualifier.

Phillips was a four-year letterwinner at William Jewell College, a Division II program in Liberty, Mo., from 2002 to 2006. She played as a defensive specialist for the Cardinals, serving as team captain during her junior and senior seasons. Phillips graduated from William Jewell in May 2006 with a bachelor of arts in organizational communication and earned her education certification from Avila University in December 2010. She earned her master's in professional studies in December 2020, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a certificate in strategic leadership.

Bates

Division 3

Emily Hayes, head coach at Lewis & Clark College from 2018 to 2021 and a former assistant at St. Lawrence University and Hope College, was appointed head coach of womens volleyball at Bates College in July 2021, announced by Director of Athletics Jason Fein.

To be at Bates and in the NESCAC is just beyond exciting for me. This was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up, said Hayes. To work at an institution with so much history and culture, and with a volleyball program with both a history of great success and then in recent years, the improvement that the program has seen -- its just thrilling to be able to build on and continue in that direction.

Hayes is the 13th head coach in the history of varsity women's volleyball at Bates, a proud program that began in 1967 and once enjoyed a 36-0 campaign in 1989. 

We're elated to welcome Emily Hayes as our new head volleyball coach," said Fein. "Her work ethic, attention to detail, and history of creating a winning culture in a highly competitive atmosphere make her the perfect choice for our program, and to lead our student-athletes. Her playing and coaching experiences will serve her well.

In 2018, Hayes was promoted from assistant coach to head coach after a year at Lewis & Clark, and she quickly won the colleges Coach of the Year award for 2018-19 after turning the Pioneers record around from 2-21 in 2017 to 13-10 in 2018. She developed three all-conference players in two seasons while establishing a culture of pride, trust and commitment within the program. 

Hayes coaching style, she says, is one that is obviously going to be playing high level volleyball and developing a championship program, but I take the responsibility really seriously to be a role model and inspire young women in more areas than the volleyball court. So developing women leaders and immersing ourselves in the community and excelling academically while also holding ourselves to incredibly high standards in terms of volleyball.

Originally hailing from Austin, Texas, Hayes attended Hope College in Michigan, where she earned a bachelors degree in classical studies in 2014. She played setter for a year at Hope before becoming a student assistant coach for the next three seasons, in the meantime helping the Flying Dutch advance to the NCAA tournament in 2011, 2012, and 2013, including the Elite Eight in 2013. 

After graduation, she assistant-coached mens and womens volleyball for a year at Lourdes University, then joined the staff at St. Lawrence University as a graduate assistant coach in 2015. While at St. Lawrence, Hayes had six student-athletes earn All-Liberty League recognition and nine chosen for conference all-academic honors. She also established core and weightlifting programs for the team while earning a masters degree in educational leadership.

She became assistant coach at Lewis & Clark in 2017, and head coach in 2018. Throughout her six years as a collegiate coach, Hayes was part of coaching staffs that mentored eight All-Americans.

John Chang

Assistant Coach

[email protected]

Seton Hall

Division 1

John Chang was named the fourth head women's volleyball coach in Felician College/University history in July 2014. His recent teams have been the most succesful in the history of the program.

Chang was voted the 2019 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Coach of the Year after leading Felician to its first regular-season division championship and its first appearance in the league semifinals. The Golden Falcons (16-18, 13-6) established overall and conference school records for victories for the second consecutive season, capturing the CACC North crown after having never before finished higher than fourth. Felician saw four players named all-CACC, more than the program's first 15 years combined, and CACC Defensive Player of the Year Sierra Gallagher became the first Golden Falcon to ever be named All-Region, earning D2CCA First Team honors at libero. Felician reached the CACC semifinals again during the repositioned Spring 2021 campaign coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, upsetting Caldwell University in Caldwell, N.J., in the opening round of the playoffs.

Chang had guided the 2018 Golden Falcons to school standards of 13 victories and eight CACC wins. Felician reached the league playoffs for the first time since 2013 and extended eventual champion Holy Family University to five sets in its quarterfinal loss.

Early in Chang's first season of 2014, Felician swept a tri-match for the first time in program history, defeating Goldey-Beacom College and Bowie State University at home on Sept. 20. Chang's 2015 Golden Falcons won seven matches, the school record to that point. During the 2017 campaign, he became Felician's all-time leader in coaching wins.

Chang spent the 2017 men's season as the head coach at Sarah Lawrence College, delivering the Gryphons' first victory in four years. He has previous collegiate experience at Polytechnic University, guiding the Blue Jays' women's and men's squads from 2005-06 to 2007-08. He inherited a women's program that had won one match in 2004 and posted a three-year won-lost record of 46-33. He was named the Skyline Conference Coach of the Year in 2007 after his team went 22-8.

Chang won 26 matches in three years leading the Blue Jay men. He was a women's assistant at Kean University in 2009 and 2010.

Chang came to Felician following two seasons as the head girls' coach at Cranford High School. More recently, he spent one year each as a girls' assistant at West Orange High School and Golda Och Academy before taking over the head coaching position at Rutgers Preparatory School during the 2020-21 academic year. During his first season, he led Rutgers Prep to the sectional finals.

On the boys' side, Chang was the head coach of the GOA varsity from 2005-18, winning two division championships, and since then has been an assistant at West Orange High. With Chang on staff, the Mountaineers won the Super Essex Conference championship and earned a state tournament berth during their inaugural season of 2019.

Chang established the Conquest Elite Volleyball Club in Cranford in August 2013 and was its director for six years.

Chang began his undergraduate studies at Rutgers University-Newark in the mid-1990s before earning a bachelor's degree in social science from Ashford University in 2009. He is tri-lingual (Korean, Spanish), and is certified by IMPACT USA Volleyball. He resides in Cranford with his wife, Jaclyn, daughter, Rachel, who attends Rutgers University, and son, Evan.
 

Brian Rosen

Assistant Coach, Recruiting Coordinator

[email protected]

Creighton

Division 1

Brian Rosen was named an assistant coach with the Creighton Volleyball program, head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth announced on Friday, Feb. 18. Rosen has spent the past three years as the head coach at Nova Southeastern, and last fall led the Sharks to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009.

Although it is bittersweet to be moving on from such an amazing group of young women at NSU, I am so excited about this new opportunity that Coach Booth has provided me to join the Bluejay volleyball family, said Rosen. She has created a culture of winning and prioritizing family, which are both so important to me. I look forward to using my strengths and experience to build on all of the success Creighton Volleyball has experienced since Coach Booth and Angie arrived. My family and I cannot wait to be in Omaha!
 
Rosen arrived at Nova Southeastern in 2019 and guided the Sharks to a 20-13 record in his first season. His program won their final six contests to clinch Nova Southeasterns first 20-win campaign since 2008. NSUs 12 Sunshine State Conference wins were a program record, and a pair of student-athletes were named AVCA All-Americans. His team posted a 3.61 GPA to earn a second consecutive AVCA Team Academic award.

After the 2020 season was cancelled due to COVID-19, Rosens team stormed out of the gate with 13 straight victories to open the fall of 2021. The 19 straight victories (counting the end of 2019) were one of numerous school records set in the fall. NSU established program-best marks for Sunshine State Conference victories (16), and .800 winning percentage in SSC play, best overall winning percentage in the NCAA-era (.828) and most home wins (16).

The 2021 Nova Southeastern squad qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first-time since 2009 and had three Sharks earn AVCA All-American Honors, AVCA All-Region awards, and All-Conference recognition. NSU finished 25-6 overall with a No. 19 year-end ranking in the AVCA poll. The Sharks were one of two teams to defeat eventual national champion Tampa, but the Spartans returned the favor to eliminate NSU in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament.

What Brian has done at Nova Southeastern, turning around that program, is remarkable, said Booth. He cares about his student-athletes, and I think hell connect really well, not only with our players but with recruits. When you look at our past hires for that position, three of the five have been former head coaches, so clearly, I like people that have been able to navigate their own program and bring new ideas to ours. Were excited for Brian to do that with us.

Rosen joined the NSU coaching staff after spending two years at Davidson College as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. In his final year at Davidson, Rosen helped improve the Wildcats' hitting percentage by over .100. In addition to coaching for the Wildcats Rosen also served as the Carolina Juniors Club Director, where he coached seven consecutive teams to USAV National Championship bids.
  
Immediately before joining the Wildcats, Rosen served as the head coach at Providence (N.C.) High School, producing an undefeated regular season for conference and tournament titles, garnering 2016 Conference and South Charlotte Weekly Coach of the Year honors.

Prior to starting at Davidson, Rosen spent seven years (July 2009-May 2016) as the girl's head volleyball coach at Charlotte Country Day School. During his tenure, he coached the program to an overall record of 169-66, earning two state championship and conference championship titles in 2013 and 2014. After those two stellar seasons, he was named the Charlotte Observer Coach of the Year. In 2012 and 2013, he was named the South Charlotte News & South Charlotte Weekly Coach of the Year. In addition, he was honored with the AVCA Thirty Under 30 award in 2013; one of just two high school coaches to receive the honor.
  
Since the start of his coaching career in 2005, Rosen has also spent time as a volunteer assistant coach at Winthrop and served as the head coach of the men and women's club volleyball teams at the University of South Carolina.
 
Rosen earned his bachelor's degree in Sport and Entertainment Management, graduating cum laude from the University of South Carolina in 2008. He will be joined in Omaha by his wife Angelica and their daughters Bryce and Brady.
