WACO, Texas - On Thursday, December 13 at 1 p.m. CT, Baylor head volleyball coach Brian Hosfeld returns to the ESPN.com moderated chat room to talk about his team's season.

Hosfeld, the winningest coach by percentage in school history, just concluded his sixth season at the helm of the Baylor program in 2001. Since his June 1996 hiring, Hosfeld has changed the face of Baylor volleyball, bringing it from a perrenial lower-division program to one that threatens yearly to compete for postseason play.

In 2001, Hosfeld led Baylor to a winning season for the fourth time in his six-year tenure at 18-12. The Bears received the second NCAA selection in program history (both under Hosfeld) but lost to host Colorado State in the first round.

In six seasons with Hosfeld as head coach, Baylor players have earned a total of 32 academic all-Big 12 honors. This season, Carol Selman and Sunny Nicholas earned first-team honors, while Dana Chuha, Stevie Nicholas and Kimmy Scott were second-team selections.

A native of Long Beach, Calif., Hosfeld has been involved in volleyball for over 15 years. He founded the highly-respected Magnum Volleyball Club in 1986 and served as the club's head coach until 1995. The Magnum Volleyball Club still stands as one of the most successful junior development programs in the United States.

Hosfeld won't be stopping by until 1 p.m. CT on Thursday, but feel free to fire off your questions here. We'll save them until he arrives.
