Cavins resigning as LWC Volleyball coach By Chris Wells Andy Cavins, who coached Lindsey Wilson College volleyball to the 2017 NAIA National Championship while producing an .877 winning percentage over his eight-year stay at LWC, announced his resignation on Friday. Cavins departs the Lindsey Wilson program as the all-time winningest coach with 272 wins. He led the Blue Raiders to eight straight NAIA National Tournament appearances, including a national title, two NAIA Fab Fours and four straight national quarterfinal appearances. "After eight wonderful years at Lindsey Wilson, it is with mixed emotions that I am resigning from Lindsey Wilson College," Cavins said. "My wonderful wife Jessica has been extremely supportive of my career over the past decade and when she was offered the opportunity to advance her own career we felt it could not be passed up. "Words cannot express how thankful I am for the leadership, guidance, and support I've received from President Luckey, Traci Pooler, Dean Adams, Denise Fudge, Abe Cross, Marilyn Radford, and Charlie Balcom," Cavins added. "However, it is the example set by Willis Pooler and Chris Wells that has enabled our program to reach new heights and develop amazing student-athletes over the years." Cavins guided Lindsey Wilson to eight-straight 30-win seasons, including a 33-4 mark in 2018. His 2017 squad posted a 35-0 record, winning the NAIA National Championship while dropping only five sets during the season. In 2015, the Blue Raiders won a program-record 37 matches. Prior to Cavins, Lindsey Wilson had one 30-win season (1999). "Andy did an amazing job leading our volleyball program over the last eight seasons," LWC athletics director Willis Pooler said. "Of course the many Mid-South Conference Championships and the 2017 national championship were outstanding achievements, but I mostly appreciate the number of high-character, bright student-athletes he recruited and helped become successful young adults and graduates. "His teams consistently excelled in the classroom with team grade point averages often exceeding 3.50, and many of his student-athletes were leaders on our campus," Pooler added. "He built an elite-level NAIA volleyball program that we hope to maintain moving forward. He will be missed. I wish Andy, Jessica, and Kellar the absolute best as their family enters this new chapter in what will be a promising future." Cavins leaves Lindsey Wilson with a 272-38 all-time record. He recruited and coached one NAIA National Player of the Year, 13 NAIA All-Americans, nine honorable mention all-Americans, seven Mid-South Conference Players of the Year, seven MSC Freshmen of the Year, and 45 All Mid-South Conference performers. Off the court, Lindsey Wilson volleyball has earned seven straight NAIA Scholar Team honors with an eighth most likely coming at the end of the academic year. During his time at Lindsey Wilson, 24 student-athletes have earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors while 78 picked up Academic All Mid-South Conference accolades. He was named the NAIA National Tournament Coach of the Year in 2017 while voted by his peers three times as the Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year. "I've been extremely fortunate to have wonderful assistants over the years that have been paramount in the growth and sustained excellence of our program," Cavins said. "But most importantly it has been my greatest honor to coach eight exceptional teams that represented Lindsey Wilson with class and distinction. "Their successes on the court are well-documented, but their success in the classroom, the community, inter-personally, and vocationally are what I am most proud of," Cavins added. "Each one of them has given me more than I ever could give to them and for that, I am eternally grateful." This story was posted on 2018-12-07 13:10:19
