This is Towson. He will be here until he decides to leave or the contract runs out 

We are saying the same thing. They will never fire him in a million years. But when it comes time to renew, that is the bar by which he will be measured.

Some cool news from abroad: former Towson great Nina Cajic suited up for Serbia yesterday in their Volleyball Nations League match against the USA. She did not play, but she is in the gym playing against world class players and on the coaching staff’s radars. The VNL is a yearly summer tournament in which the 18 best national teams in the world compete. It is a very prestigious tournament to be a part of, and her presence there is a huge moment for any volleyball player. Serbia is one of the strongest nations in international volleyball. They have a ton of talent and won the World Championships in 2022. Hopefully she gets on the court soon.

Regardless of if she plays or not like you said "she is in the gym playing against world class players". This should be celebrated and promoted by our athletic department and volleyball program, but for some reason unless they read this post they probably do not even know about it.

Latest news out of Belgrade is Cajic will be on the roster again tomorrow for Serbia’s match against France. I’ll be keeping an eye on it. At the moment, Cajic is Towson’s most accomplished active professional athlete across all sports. After performing well for the upstart Pro Volleyball Federation’s Indy Ignite in her first professional club season, she has signed a contract in Turkey with Nilufer for the upcoming season. The Turkish pro league is one of the best in terms of pay, competition, and media coverage, along with the Italian league. A player in one of those two leagues can be considered a “top level” player. I really do hope she can break out with the National Team, and that Towson acknowledges her success.

And just like that, she does see the court! Cajic got significant playing time as a substitute in Serbia’s 3-2 loss to France today. She was not heavily involved in the offense, with only 2 kills on 10 total attempts, but they left her in for long stretches of the game and she contributed positively on defense. She wasn’t stellar, but it’s a good foot in the door and she will likely get more opportunities.
