Knipe has built one of the top programs in the nation, contributing to all four of Long Beach State's NCAA national championships, one as a player and three as head coach.
His tenure has also included multiple Final Four appearances, seven AVCA National Players of the Year, dozens of All-Americans, and countless athletes who have advanced to the highest levels of the sport, including Olympians.
Throughout his career, Knipe has fostered a culture of excellence, integrity, and passion that has become synonymous with Southern California volleyball.
