"On behalf of our program, I want to thank Gregg Whitis for his commitment and dedication to myself and the Arizona volleyball program," UA coach Dave Rubio said. "In 2013, I hired Gregg to be the point person and head of our recruiting efforts. He came with a resume full of top recruiting classes from the former top-level volleyball programs he had been a part of. He only built upon his previous successes here at Arizona. Gregg will be missed as a colleague here at Arizona, as well as his loyalty and selflessness to the Arizona volleyball program."
