Let's go barefootin' with Geoff Carlston!

Last week Ohio State's Lantern did a spiffy little profile of Head Buckeye Geoff Carlston. Let's see what happened!

"From being a 19-year-old college sophomore coaching 17-year-old girls..."

Uh, what's happening right now...

"...to working with the Belize National Team while in the Peace Corps, volleyball kept finding its way into Geoff Carlson's life."

Oh. OK. That was an awkward start, but it's OK. The article states that Carlston said that he never thought volleyball would be his career.

"I can't sit here and say I planned this out. That would be a flat out lie."

Also a flat out lie? That Belize has a National Team. C'mon, no one's falling for that one. We've all seen Wild on E! with Brooke Burke.

Then there's the boilerplate (buckeyeplate?) bio stuff and background, before we learn that Carlston recently got win 300.

The team surprised him in the locker room with cheers and noisemakers, apparently, which must have been nice for the coach.

"He was just awkwardly laughing," senior DS Julianne Mandolfo said. "He didn't know what was going on."

"I actually didn't even know [about the record]," Carlston said.

Oh, so it was just really awkward instead. Whoops.

So let's dig deep, get below the esoteric stuff and find out what makes this guy tick!

"He's very hippy-dippy," Andrea Kacsits said. "It's not uncommon to go into his office and see him without shoes on and just walking around."

Dude. C'mon.

"He's very go with the flow off the court, but on the court he's very inspired, very detail-oriented," Kacsits said.

It doesn't say so in the article, but I assume Carlston is also shoe-oriented on the court. Because...gross.
