TCU director of volleyball Jill Kramer met Chris Lamb when she coached club volleyball in San Antonio. All coaches want to talk about recruiting club players. Then there’s Lamb, who will talk about everything related to volleyball.
That was roughly 10 years ago and Kramer remembers Lamb’s enthusiasm well. She can also draw a line from those experiences to how Lamb’s Wichita State teams plays.
“He was recruiting a ton of my players,” she said. “He wasn’t just talking about Wichita State. We talked drills and how to help my players improve. He’s somebody that, for someone like me moving through the coaching ranks, I used as an example of how to do things.
