After 32 years, three national championship, and 13 Big West championships, Long Beach State head women's volleyball coach Brian Gimmillaro has decided to retire.

LBSU hired Gimmillaro in 1985, and he won his first national championship only four years later in 1989. His second national championship came in 1993, and the third in 1998 with Misty May winning the National Player of the Year honor and leading her team to an undefeated season.

In his long career at Long Beach, Gimmillaro maintained a 79 percent winning percentage, and he was inducted into the American Volleyball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2008.

"I can't tell you how much this university, the players, and the community has meant to me. It is important for me to explore other opportunities," Gimmillaro said. "I will miss all of you."
