The RIVBC was created in 1984 by Bob Schneck, Head Women’s Volleyball Coach for the University of Rhode Island.   Schneck enters his 27th season as head coach at the University of Rhode Island with a career record of 447-299 and a winning percentage of .598. He has become the dean of Atlantic 10 volleyball coaches while making the Rams' program a model of success.  Under Schneck, Rhode Island has received bids to three NCAA tournaments (1985, '91, and '96) and has won three Atlantic 10 Conference tournament championships (1991, '92 and '96) along with one regular-season title (1996). The Rams have appeared in the Atlantic 10 championship match 11 times, including a remarkable six of the last 10 years, and qualified for 17 of the 20 conference tournaments held.  Schneck’s Rams have recorded 25 or more victories in nine different seasons, including back-to-back 30-win campaigns in 1995 and ’96. The 1995 team posted a 30-8 record, finished second in the league and advanced to the Final Four of the National Invitational Volleyball Championship. In '96 the Rams became the first school in Atlantic 10 history to win 19 conference games, then added the league tournament title to their regular-season crown and moved on to the NCAA tournament.  Schneck is widely recognized among college volleyball coaches for his astute knowledge and his ability to teach others the finer aspects of the game. He has tutored 32 All-Atlantic 10 performers, six conference Freshman of the Year honorees, and two conference Players of the Year.  Schneck was named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year in 1995 and NCAA District I Coach of the Year in both '95 and '96.   He has guided Rhode Island to winning records in 17 of his past 22 seasons, and has led the Rams to a 77-25 mark (.755) in conference play from 1995 through '99.   Visit GoRhody.com for more about the URI Women’s Volleyball Team.
