2017 USC Women’S Volleyball 3

Mick Haley is in his 17th season as head coach at USC. He has guided teams to two NCAA titles (2002, ‘03), six Final Four appearances (2002, ‘03, ‘04, ‘07, ’10, and ‘11) and 16 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. USC has finished the season ranked nationally in the top five nine times out of 16 years under Haley.

The winningest coach in the program’s history, Haley has posted an impressive overall record of 410-109 (.790) while going 225-77 (.745) in the Pac-12. Haley was named Pac-12 Coach of the Year in 2011 and 2015 for leading the Trojans to the league title each time.

Haley’s 2003 squad won the program’s sixth overall title and third NCAA crown. The Trojans were a perfect 35-0 (only the fourth team ever to accomplish the feat) and Haley was honored as the AVCA Division I Coach of the Year. A two-time national championship coach at Texas and four-year coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team, Haley took the helm at USC to start of the 2001 season.

Haley earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Ball State in 1965 and a master’s degree in education in 1966 from Southern Illinois. Haley and his wife, Carrie, have a daughter, Halie, and a son, Hunter. He also has a son, Heath, and a daughter, Heather, from a previous marriage, and six grandchildren, Harrison, Hayley, Amelia, Michael, Presli, and Harley.

Built on a firm foundation of academic excellence and superior athletic performance, the Pac-12 Conference renewed its undisputed claim as the Conference of Champions® in 2016-17, becoming the first conference to win 500 NCAA Championships. Beyond the court’s and fields, the Pac-12’s accomplishments extend into the classrooms across 12 campuses, and outside its traditional geographic footprint into new corners around the world.

En route to becoming the first conference to win 500 NCAA Championships, the Pac-12 led the nation in 2016-17 with 13 NCAA crowns. This haul adds to the an incredible 158 NCAA team titles since 1999-2000 and 300 since 1981-82, the start of women’s sports sponsorship, an average of over nine per year. Even more impressive has been the breadth of the Pac-12’s success with championships coming in 29 different men’s and women’s sports. The Pac-12 has led or tied the nation in NCAA Championships in 51 of the last 57 years, the only exceptions being in 1980-81, 1988-89, 1990-91 and 1995-96 when the Conference finished second, and only twice finished third in 1998-99 and 2004-05.

For the 12th straight year, the Pac-12 had the most or tied for the most NCAA titles of any conference in the country, winning at least six every year since 2000-01. No other conference has won double-digit NCAA crowns in a single year, the Pac-12 doing so nine times, including a record 14 in 1996-97.

In over a century of athletics achievements, The Pac-12 has claimed 501 NCAA Championships (297 men’s, 174 women’s, 30 combined), nearly 200 more than the next league. It was also the first to win 400 championships then surpassed 450 when Colorado and Utah joined the league in 2010-11.

Pac-12 members have won 297 NCAA team championships on the men’s side, 81 more than the next-closest conference. Men’s NCAA crowns have come at a phenomenal rate for the Pac-12 - 16 basketball titles by six schools, 54 tennis titles, 47 outdoor track & field crowns, and 28 baseball titles. Pac-12 members have won 25 of 47 NCAA titles in volleyball, 43 of 48 in water polo, 30 in skiing, and 24 in swimming & diving national championships.

Individually, the Conference has produced an impressive number of NCAA individual champions. Over 2,000 (2,292) individual crowns have been won by Pac-12 student-athletes over the years with 1,358 by male student-athletes. Student-athletes have also captured 185 individual titles at combined championships (ie., skiing and fencing).

On the women’s side, the story is much the same. Since the NCAA began conducting women’s championships 36 years ago, Pac-12 members have claimed at least four national titles in a single season on 26 occasions, including a current streak of 17-consecutive years, dating back to 2000. Overall, the Pac-12 has captured 174 NCAA women’s titles, easily outdistancing the SEC, which is second with 100. Pac-12 members have dominated a number of sports, winning 23 softball titles, 23 tennis crowns, 15 volleyball titles, 18 of the last 28 trophies in golf, and 15 in swimming & diving.

Pac-12 women student-athletes shine nationally on an individual basis, as well, having captured an unmatched 749 NCAA individual crowns, an average of over 20 championships per season, including 30 in 2016-17.

The Pac-12’s excellence is further proven in the annual Division I Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup competition, the prestigious award that honors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. Stanford won an unprecedented 23rd-consecutive Directors’ Cup in 2016-17 to lead the Conference. Five Pac-12 member institutions ranked among the top-15 Division I programs, and a remarkable six institutions were in the top 20: No. 1 Stanford, No. 3 USC, No. 8 Oregon, No. 9 UCLA, No. 12 California, and No. 20 Washington. At least five member institutions have been ranked in the top 20 in all but one year of the Director’s Cup program, with seven appearing in the top 20 on five different occasions (1998, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2006).
