South Carolina fires volleyball coach midway through season

USC head indoor volleyball coach Scott Swanson has been fired, the school’s Director of Athletics Ray Tanner said in a statement Wednesday.

Swanson’s dismissal comes as the Gamecocks are in the midst of their 2017 regular season. South Carolina is currently 9-6 with a 2-1 record in the SEC. In seven seasons with USC, Swanson had a record of 101-99 and 35-80 in conference play.

“We appreciate the dedication and hard work that Coach Swanson has brought to this program over the past seven years,” Tanner said in a press release. “However, I have made a decision that in the best interest of the program, we needed to make a change and have new leadership.
