MINNEAPOLIS -- Washington State Volleyball Associate Head Coach Burdette Greeny was named the Division I American Volleyball Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year, as was announced by the AVCA Thursday.

Greeny, who is in his eighth season with the Cougar Volleyball program, has been incredibly influential in the success of Washington State alongside head coach, and wife Jen Greeny. WSU is coming off three straight consecutive trips to the NCAA Championship Tournament Second Round, and most recently advanced into the Sweet Sixteen in 2018 after the Cougars defeated reigning Big Sky Champion Northern Arizona in round one, and then Tennessee in the round two.
