Former UL volleyball coach
1999-2001
Chris CampbellChris Campbell enters his first season as the top assistant coach for the Lumberjack volleyball program. He will be prominent in on-court and practice coaching and will be the recruiting coordinator for the program.
Campbell comes to NAU after a season as head coach at Division II Mississippi University for Women (2002) and three seasons as the head man at Division I Louisiana-Lafayette (1999-2001).
At MUW, Campbell took a roster of nine players and led it to 12 wins, two All-Gulf South Conference selections and six player of the week honors (four defensive, two offensive). The program was discontinued after the 2002 season due to budgetary reasons.
At Louisiana, Campbell led the Ragin' Cajuns to a 46-43 (.517) record in three seasons and a pair of second-place finishes in the Western Division of the Sun Belt Conference (2000 and 2001) - the best finishes by the program since joining the SBC in the early 1990s (the program finished no better than sixth in 10 seasons prior to 2000).
In October 2001 the Cajuns were ranked ninth in the NCAA South Region - the first time in the program's history that it had earned a regional ranking. In all three seasons at the helm, Campbell led Louisiana to the conference tournament semifinals and produced four all-conference picks and players of the week and two all-tournament selections in 2000 and 2001 alone.
