IU volleyball has a new director of operations.
Shane Wilkinson will leave the University of South Carolina, where he has worked the past two seasons, to join the IU family, and be closer to his family.
"Coming to Indiana will allow (Wilkinson) to be back closer to his family and his new niece that was born on New Year's Day," IU Coach Sherry Dunbar said.
Wilkinson was also the director of operations at South Carolina for the volleyball team. Before that, he held the same position at Ohio State University for three years.
A 2008 Ball State graduate, Wilkinson was in charge of arranging team travel, a co-camp director, helped in the recruiting process and also broke down statistics for the Gamecocks.
"(Wilkinson) comes to Indiana with glowing reviews from the places he's worked and from everyone that helped interview him," Dunbar said. "He was our first choice and we couldn't be more pleased to have him join the Hoosier family."
A decorated radio personality during his time as a Cardinal, Wilkinson won a record seven Communicator Awards in 2007 during his time as a general manager of Ball State's student radio station.
