RASHINDA REED ON MATT SCOTT
"Matt is not only a great coach but an amazing person. We had the opportunity to work together through the AVCA assistant coaches committee and I quickly learned that Matt is always on the journey to grow as a mentor and coach. He is always pushing himself to greater heights and evolving as the game of volleyball evolves. During his tenure at UConn, Matt helped build a successful thriving program that achieved its first ever bid to the NIVC and were one of the four finalists. I know that Matt will be a great addition to our staff, bringing his expertise into the gym and on the recruiting trail."
