Former Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio said earlier this year that he has tried to stay out of the way during successor Rita Stubbs’ first season. He didn’t want to add to the pressure, so he has focused on working youth volleyball camps and with Athletes Unlimited. The program isn’t quite ready to let go of the past as they work towards the future.
Before facing Oregon in their next-to-last home match of the season, the locker room used by the indoor and beach volleyball programs was renamed the Rubio Family Locker Room.
