Cavins hired to head LWC volleyball program New coach places emphasis on winning both on the court and in the classroom. He turned 2-28 program into one ranking in the Top-10 nationally, and his volleyball team had the highest grade point average on its Longview, TX, campus. By Chris Wells, Sports Information Director News from Lindsey Wilson College Columbia, KY - Andy Cavins has been hired as head volleyball coach at Lindsey Wilson College, athletic director Willis Pooler announced on Friday, January 28, 2011. Cavins takes over for the Blue Raiders after spending two seasons as head coach at NCAA Div. III Letourneau University in Longview, TX. He is a former assistant coach at the University of Georgia. Most recently, Cavins coached at the Dallas Premier Volleyball Club. While at the club, he coached the 17's team to a Top-10 national ranking - its highest national ranking ever. "I am thrilled and honored to accept the position as volleyball coach at Lindsey Wilson College," Cavins said. "I would like to thank Willis Pooler and the hiring committee for this fantastic opportunity. "Throughout this process I have been immensely impressed and truly inspired by the support and commitment that the Blue Raider Athletic Department has shown for the volleyball program and its future." Pooler is just as excited about Cavins future as the head of the Blue Raider volleyball program. "I'm excited for our volleyball program and our student-athletes because we feel that we have hired a top-notch coach that can not only lead us to national prominence, but also provide our student-athletes with an enjoyable experience," Pooler said. "Andy understands and believes in the mission of our college and I'm confident in his abilities to build a successful program." At Letourneau, Cavins took over for a program that had just completed a 2-28 season with no conference wins in 2008. During Cavin's tenure, the team compiled the most wins in the program's history over a two-year span and finished fourth in its 15-team conference in 2010. In addition to its top-four conference finish, Cavins' team amassed a 3.23 cumulative grade point average, the highest of any sport on the Letourneau campus. His team also concluded the season with five all-conference players, including the American Southwest Conference sportsmanship award winner. As an assistant at Georgia, Cavins was part of a staff that inherited a Bulldog team that had finished 6-25 in the season prior to their arrival. Cavins helped Georgia to a 17-13 record in his first season with the Bulldogs and had a First Team All-Southeastern Conference performer and a First Team All-SEC Freshman team selection. Cavins' main responsibilities at Georgia included on-court development, recruiting coordinator and camp director. As a staff, Georgia was able to sign a Top-50 recruiting class that included the nation's second-ranked setter. Cavins replaces Heather Collins, who stepped down from the position in November due to family responsibilities. Cavins is a former NCAA Division I baseball student-athlete at Baylor University. He also used his time on campus to serve as a student assistant for the Baylor volleyball team. Cavins participated as a practice player, on-court trainer and facility manager. Including his work at the Dallas club, Cavins also has coached in the Georgia Juniors Volleyball Club -- where he was co-director and 18's Open coach. He also worked with the Dallas Juniors Volleyball Club and the Addison Boy's Volleyball Club. Cavins also enjoys experience as a volleyball camp director at every level. He has led six different high-school camps, the Fort Worth YMCA camp, and camps at Southern Methodist University, Baylor, Georgia and Letourneau. "I look forward to being a part of the great athletics tradition at Lindsey Wilson," Cavins said. "As a staff, we intend to lead the volleyball program to a national level of prominence, comparable to the other successful programs at the college." This story was posted on 2011-01-29 05:14:37
