Bill Egbert Named Assistant Volleyball Coach

OXFORD, Miss. Bill Egbert has been named a new assistant volleyball coach at the University of Mississippi, head coach Joe Getzin announced on Wednesday.

Egbert takes the place of departed four-year assistant Anastasia Porter who resigned recently to pursue other opportunities.

“I’m very excited to have Bill join our staff,” said Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin. “He will be a great addition and can help us achieve some of our goals down the road. His experience with Furman and helping them to their first NCAA Tournament berth shows the quality of coaching he’s been exposed to.”

“I’m really excited about this opportunity,” Egbert said. “Ole Miss is a good program and we have a lot of good players coming in with the recruiting class and returning. I am excited about working with Coach Getzin and Coach Alvey and helping Ole Miss Volleyball achieve its goals.”

Egbert joins the Ole Miss volleyball program after a two-year stint at Furman where he served as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Paladins. In his two years at Furman, Egbert coached the middle blockers and outside hitters, and developed five All-Conference selections.

In 2008 he helped lead the Paladins to the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history and helped Furman claim its first Southern Conference title in 18 years.

Prior to joining the staff at Furman, Egbert spent five years as a student manager at the University of Nebraska. In his time working with the Huskers, Egbert was a part of a program that claimed four Big 12 Conference Championships, made five NCAA Tournament appearances including two Final Four appearances, and claimed the 2006 National Championship.

Also during his time at Nebraska, Egbert spent four seasons as the head coach of the Nebraska Juniors Club Volleyball and took three of his teams to the Junior National Tournament and finished as high as 9^th place with his 16U team in 2006.

In 2004, Egbert also served as a guest coach with the A2 National Team and assisted in the training and preparation of the athletes for competition.
