In the realm of volleyball, everyone lives on the edge as a new day passes by with news of something new. The change in this sport is the most common thing; Along the same lines, a head coach’s change has recently created a buzz among the fans. The coach, in an interview, made a heartfelt reveal by saying, “It was an incredibly difficult decision.” But the loss of one was a gain for the other.
Therefore, the head coach of USC volleyball, Brad Keller, triumphantly welcomed that coach to its program. The USC women’s volleyball team has been resurrected by the now-made associate head coach, Tyler Hilderbrand, who took up the role after leaving the Long Beach State program.

Hildebrand was the nation’s top assistant coach after helping lead Nebraska to a national title. It was at that point when he was hired by Long Beach State. As he left the program, LBSU athletic director Bobby Smitheran did not hide his disappointment. He said, “Tyler has done a great job of elevating the women’s volleyball program in his two years at The Beach, and we’re certainly disappointed to see him move on. Coach Hildebrand has built a foundation for future success…” The decision has not been easy for Hilderbrand as well.

“This one was all the way down to the wire just a tough decision, it was really hard. I had a lot of young women here who came to play for me and believed in what we were building. That’s hard as a head coach when you leave that,” he said. However, time moves on. Keeping with that, Natalie Reagan, the team’s top assistant under Hildebrand, has been appointed as the program’s interim head coach through the upcoming 2024 season. It remains to be seen how the two programs process this shakeup.
