Cole Tallman Coaches 1,000th Career Match
Mount Olive College made head coach a winner in his 1,000th career match with a 25-13, 22-25, 25-20, 25-22 victory over Elizabeth City State in non-conference women’s volleyball Thursday at Kornegay Arena. The win improved Tallman’s all-time record to 682-318. The won-lost record includes both women’s and men’s volleyball at the college and junior college levels.
Tallman was named head women’s and men’s volleyball coach at Mount Olive last December. His overall total includes an 11-10 record with the Mount Olive men’s volleyball team last spring and a current 11-14 mark with the women’s volleyball team this season. The Trojans have a 10-2 record in conference play and are a game out of first place in this season’s Conference Carolinas women’s volleyball standings.
Prior to his arrival at Mount Olive, Tallman coached at the Division I level at Furman and Gardner-Webb. He guided Furman to its first-ever Southeastern Conference championship. He also coached at Division III schools St. Thomas (Minn.) and Dubuque, leading St. Thomas to a national ranking. Tallman coached at current Conference Carolinas member Anderson when the school was still a two-year college.
“It should be noted that I started coaching when I was six years old,” joked Tallman.
Tallman will have an extended wait before coaching match No. 1,001. Mount Olive doesn’t play again until October 27.
