Gilad goes West!

So it's come to this: Gilad--former assistant at Temple, head coach at Villanova, a man of few words--is leaving his Philadelphia home to take his multimillion-dollar aerobics empire to the University of San Francisco.

And San Francisco couldn't be more excited. "This is an exciting day for me and for USF volleyball," said athletic director Debi Gore-Mann.

Told ya'.

"Gilad Doron is a great fit for USF. He brings a welcome combination of technical knowledge and genuine passion to USF volleyball along with his phenomenal organizational skills."

Yes. Phenonmenal organizational skills. You should see his sock drawer.

Gilad is "really looking forward to this opportunity and the chance to be part of something special with USF Volleyball." Although, as has been pointed out on messageboards, Gilad will have to commute to work everyday from his home in Philadelphia because of the out of control real estate market in NorCal.
