In his third season as the head coach of the BYU men’s volleyball team, Shawn Olmstead has been named the 2018 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Coach of the Year.
Olmstead was previously named the conference’s coach of the year in 2016, his first season at the helm of the Cougars.
He is just the fourth coach at BYU to earn league coach of the year honors, following previous head coach Chris McGown in 2013, his father Carl McGown in 1999 and 2001 and Tom Peterson in 2003.
Backed by a 22-6 overall record and an MPSF regular-season and tournament championship, the Cougars are returning to the NCAA tournament for the fifth time in six years.
