June 27, 2007
After filling the position a year ago, Kentucky State University is now searching again for a head women's volleyball coach.

Nedra Brown |
Nedra Brown, who came to KSU after a seven-year stint at LeMoyne-Owen, is leaving the Thorobrettes to take over the program at Alabama A&M. In just one season, Brown's team went 18-15 overall and finished 10-0 in the SIAC Western Division. The Thorobrettes lost to Paine, defeated Tuskegee, then were eliminated by Benedict in the 2006 SIAC Volleyball Tournament.
"I depart with mixed emotions", said Brown. "The kindness displayed by the institution has been overwhelming. I have enjoyed my time here."
Brown will succeed Betty Austin, who gave up the volleyball coaching job after being named permanent athletic director.
Austin leaves some big shoes to fill.
During her 30-year tenure, all at her alma mater, Austin's teams were 604-235 making her only the 12th Division I coach in the history of the sport to reach 600 career wins.
“We wish Coach Brown much success as she continues her career at Alabama A&M”, said KSU Athletics Director Derita Ratcliffe. “Though her time at KSU was brief, her bright smile will be missed”.
