KAMLOOPS —The Thompson Rivers University (TRU) WolfPack women’s volleyball team will have a new coach, and a familiar face, at the helm for the 2022-23 season.
In a news release issued Friday (Aug. 19), TRU announced that long-time assistant coach Behlul Yavasgel will serve as interim head coach as Chad Grimm will take a one-year leave of absence to live abroad with his family.
“Behlul was the obvious choice to step in and lead the program this year, I trust in him to provide the team with the best student-athlete experience possible both on and off the court,” Curtis Atkinson, TRU director of athletics and recreation says. “Chad is someone that has meant so much to this program and I wish him and his family the best as they embark upon this journey.”
Yavasgel joined the WolfPack as a men’s volleyball player in 2005 and played five seasons before serving as a coach. He will be joined on the bench by long-time assistant coach and former WolfPack player Sarah Loedel as well as Ezgi Dilik, a former professional player from Turkey who helped with the WolfPack last season.
