I havent seen this mentioned on here or surprisingly the athletics site but last weekend he became #1 in all time Big South wins for the Flames. I believe the regular season championship also gave him the most championships (counting regular season and tourny champs).

He's been voted Coach of the Year for Virginia several times but the coaching job he and his staff did this year is the most impressive yet with all of the injuries they had to over come.

More important than all of that is he goes about it the right way without making any sacrifices to our mission. It's refreshing to see student athletes enter a program and leave better people...we have several programs like that on campus, but few like volleyball.

Congrats P

Probably will go down as one of the best coaches ever on the mountain (any sport) and definitely one of the best from a personal standpoint

I just did the math and if Liberty wins 20 matches a year the next two years, he can break the all time record for wins by a head coach in 2014 (198 by Chris Phillips, who ended up going to Gardner-Webb)

Pinder's a favorite of mine. If we could bottle up him and Alder and put their DNA into all of our coaches we would have something really special.

He got more BSC wins and Championships in 2 or 3 years less than CP...I imagine total wins would be similar.

Let's just enjoy what he's doing now though.

Agreed HMO...20 matches is the bare minimum and Im pretty certain we will do better than that

Coach was one of the first interviews I did early in my broadcast career...class act all the way. He definitely should be in the Liberty HoF first year eligible

IF not first year, at some point definitely. Class act all the way.
