Wichita State sends volleyball coach Chris Lamb to explore the American Athletic Conference and report back.
Tips on airports, hotels, restaurants and locker rooms are welcome. The Shockers play at Temple, in Philadelphia, on Sept 22 in the school’s first AAC competition.
“Lambo will be the guinea pig on how everything goes,” softball coach Kristi Bredbenner said. “Their traveling party is pretty similar to ours.”
Lamb has plenty of questions of his own. He spent 17 seasons in the Missouri Valley Conference, where he won 71.5 percent of his matches and six regular-season titles. All that institutional knowledge and statistical trends that prepare his team for Missouri State and Northern Iowa are history.
