Marv Dunphy

Um, you mentioned it earlier i was i coached the women through three olympic cycles and in the tokyo olympic cycle the women finally broke through and won their first ever indoor volleyball gold medal and i looked at my watch because i had to laugh at myself it was so pathetic but um uh Soon after the women won, I was standing there and we were waiting for the podium ceremony.

And I had this far off look in my eyes and somebody, it might have been Marv Dunphy.

I can't remember who asked me, asked me, what are you thinking about? And I said, I'm embarrassed to think, to tell you, but I will tell you, I'm thinking about the next Olympics in Paris.

and how many of these people will be there or not, and what we're gonna have to do to try to stay on top.

So I was working for Hugh McCutcheon and I'm looking at the rotation and I have an earpiece in.

And the consultant coach in the back is Marv Dunphy, the legendary coach from Pepperdine, who'd been head coach of the gold medal team in 88.

So he'd been to a bunch of Olympics.

And he says in my earpiece, he goes, commit here, which means we're going to send David Lee into a commit.
