6 HEAD COACH MARV DUNPHY 31st Season at Pepperdine Career/School Record: * ( MPSF) Widely recognized as one of the game s premier coaches, Dr. Marv Dunphy has directed Pepperdine to four NCAA men s volleyball tles and is heading into his 31st season as the Waves head coach in Dunphy, who holds a career record of (.694)*, is noted for his highly technical approach to the game and diligent training methods. He was the 2005 Na onal Coach of the Year and is a three- me MPSF Coach of the Year. As a result of his training, 20 different Waves have earned 35 All-American first team accolades. Pepperdine players have been named All-Americans 54 mes under Dunphy s direc on. Six different athletes have gone on to earn either AVCA or Volleyball Magazine Na onal Player of the Year honors a combined nine mes in Bob Ctvrtlik (1985), George Roumain (1998, 1999), Brad Keenan (2002, 2003), Sean Rooney (2004, 2005), Jonathan Winder (2007) and Paul Carroll (2009). With six AVCA Player of the Year selec ons, no other men s program has had more POTY recipients than Pepperdine since the organiza on began issuing the awards in Dunphy has had a long, successful coaching tenure with the U.S. Na onal Team. The American squad maintained a No. 1 world ranking and compiled an impressive overall record of (.864) during his me as coach. Addi onally, the team won every major interna onal tournament: the 1985 World Cup, the 1986 World Championships, the 1987 Pan American Games and, most importantly, the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. Since then, he has been an assistant coach for the men s team at the 2000 Olympics and a consultant coach at the 1996, 2004 and 2008 Olympics. In 2012, Dunphy served as a consultant coach in London for the silver medal winning women s squad. In the spring of 2011, Dunphy was awarded the U.S. Olympic Achievement Award for his part in helping the U.S. Na onal Team capture gold in Beijing. Nineteen of his Pepperdine volleyball players have represented the U.S. Na onal Team, with 10 taking part in the Olympics. In 1994, Dunphy was formally recognized for his immense contribu on to the sport, as he was inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame in Holyoke, Mass. His 1988 Olympic Team was inducted in the fall of He was also put into the AVCA Hall of Fame in December 2009 and the Pepperdine Athle cs Hall of Fame in Among his honors from the FIVB (the Interna onal Volleyball Federa on) are the 1987 Coach of the Year and the 1999 All-Time Great Coaches Award (contemporary division). Also in 1999, he was a finalist for the FIVB s Greatest Coach of the Century Award. Under Dunphy s guidance, the program has received NCAA public recogni on awards for its outstanding APR scores five mes ( , , , and ). A na ve of nearby Topanga Canyon, Dunphy was a middle blocker at Pepperdine during the sport s forma ve years at the intercollegiate level and earned a bachelor s degree in kinesiology from the university in A er comple ng his athle cs eligibility, Dunphy con nued his affilia on with the Pepperdine program, serving as an assistant coach to both Harlan Cohen and Burt DeGroot before assuming the head coaching du es in The following season, Dunphy led Pepperdine to its first-ever NCAA team championship, as the Waves upended UCLA in five games in Columbus, Ohio, to win the na onal crown. Dunphy, who earned a master s degree in physical educa on from USC in 1978, le Pepperdine following the 1978 championship season to obtain his doctorate degree in the same subject area at Brigham Young University. Dunphy completed work for his doctorate in 1981, and then returned to Pepperdine that fall to quickly elevate the program back to na onal tle conten on. Pepperdine advanced to the NCAA tle match in 1983 and 1984, but the Waves were beaten on both occasions by crosstown foe UCLA. However, the de turned for the fabled Malibu Roofing Company in 1985, as Pepperdine rolled to an impressive 25-2 record s ll ed as the best single-season mark in school history and defeated USC in four games at Pauley Pavilion to capture the NCAA tle. The victory proved to be a perfect farewell gi to Dunphy, who took a leave of absence following the 1985 season to immediately begin working with the U.S. Na onal Team at its San Diego base. Under Dunphy s watchful eye, the American squad gained interna onal a en on, and the 12-man roster (which included former Pepperdine standouts Craig Buck, Bob Ctvrtlik, Jeff Stork and Troy Tanner, three of whom were starters) won the gold medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. Pepperdine captured its third NCAA championship in 1986 without him, but Dunphy returned to the head coaching posi on in November Upon returning to Malibu, he hit the recrui ng trail and once again rebuilt the program. The Waves reached the pinnacle in 1992, as the team upset Long Beach State to win the MPSF Tournament and then captured its fourth NCAA crown with an impressive three-game sweep of top-ranked Stanford in Muncie, Ind. In 1998, Pepperdine compiled an impressive 23-5 mark and won the MPSF Tournament with a four-game victory over UCLA at Pauley Pavilion. Unfortunately, UCLA gained its revenge in the NCAA tle match, defea ng Pepperdine in three games. During the 1999 campaign the Waves notched a solid 20-5 mark and senior outside hi er George Roumain was tabbed the AVCA Na onal Player of the Year for the second consecu ve season. Roumain was a member of the 2000 Olympic Team along with former Pepperdine players Kevin Barne and Chip McCaw. Dunphy took another 17-month sabba cal in order to serve as an assistant coach with the U.S. Na onal Team at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. He returned to Pepperdine in October In 2003, Pepperdine went 24-6 overall, including 19-3 in the MPSF, advanced to the tle game of the MPSF Tournament and reached the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. There, the Waves suffered a hard-fought five game setback to eventual na onal champion Lewis, which later vacated the tle. In May of 2003, Dunphy was honored as one of four coaches named to the U.S. Volleyball Associa on s Men s All-Era Team. Dunphy served the U.S. Na onal Team in a scou ng and advisory role during the 2003 World Cup in Japan. Pepperdine earned its fi h NCAA tle in the program s history in Pepperdine swept Ohio State in the na onal semifinals before rallying back from a 2-1 deficit to defeat UCLA, 3-2, in the championship match at Pauley Pavilion, capping off its 25-2 season. That year Dunphy was selected as Na onal Coach of the Year for the first me in his career. He also earned MPSF Coach of the Year honors for the second me a er previously picking up the honor in In 2006, Volleyball Magazine selected Dunphy as one of the 30 Most Recognizable Names in Volleyball. Dunphy earned MPSF Coach of the Year honors again in 2007 as the Waves went 26-3 overall, won both the MPSF regular-season and tournament tles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 14th me in school history. During fall 2007, Dunphy rejoined the U.S. Na onal Team for the World Cup in Japan, where he served as team leader. The 2008 Waves made one of their most unexpected runs to the na onal championship match, as they began the postseason as the #5 seed in the MPSF Tournament, but won the event with three straight wins away from home. Pepperdine knocked off Long Beach State in the NCAA semifinals before falling to Penn State in the championship. The Waves finished with a record of and a #2 na onal ranking*. Dunphy was a member of the coaching staff for the 2008 U.S. Olympic squad, which made a remarkable run to the gold medal. One of his former All-Americans, Sean Rooney, was a player on the team. He returned to the London Olympics in 2012, and served as a consultant coach to the silver-medal winning women s team. A popular instructor for Pepperdine University s sports medicine department, Dunphy resides in the Decker Canyon area of Malibu with his wife Su. The couple has two daughters, Karen and Alexandra, and one son, Dijon. Alexandra won a na onal championship as a member of the USC women s volleyball team and is currently serving as an assistant coach at the University of Miami (FL). Marv and Su also have three grandchildren, Hunter, Shay and Trent. *Pepperdine later vacated all wins (66), NCAA Tournament loses (1), Mountain Pacific Sports Federa on tournament tles (1) and NCAA Tournament appearances (1) accrued during the 2008, 09, 10 and 11 seasons due to self-reported NCAA viola ons.
