TEMPE, Ariz. -- Stevie Mussie understands and embraces the importance of becoming just the second women's head volleyball coach of color at a Power-5 conference school (N.C. State's Linda Hampton-Keith is the other).
"(Linda) and I talk about it all the time. What does it mean for us? How do we continue to pave the way for everyone else?" Arizona State's new coach said Monday at her introductory press conference at Karsten Golf Course.
Being a pioneer won't change Mussie's approach, however, as she takes over a program that has been to the NCAA Tournament four straight seasons.
