2004 IPFW Coaching Staff

Page 22: 2004 IPFW Men's Volleyball Media Guide

When USA Volleyball needed a coach to lead the 2003 U.S. WorldUniversity Games team to Daegu, South Korea, they didn't have to looklong or hard. They selected IPFW Head Men's Volleyball Coach Arnie Ballfor the job. Ball had a plethora of international experience, and he wastheir top choice to lead a very young, and somewhat inexperience team,

against some very tough international competition.

Ball’s team responded, having a great tournament, including a five-set marathon win over the French to win the BronzeMedal.

Success has been the constant that has followed Arnie Ball and catapulted his dream of building a powerhouse men'svolleyball program in the Midwest. That drive to reach the top and eventually bring the NCAA National Championship tohis Division I program has led his clubs to capture or share five of the last tenMidwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Championships, including NCAAFinal Four appearances in 1991, 1992, 1994, and 1999.

This year will bring a new challenge for the coach as he continues to build awinning foundation in IPFW's quest to win the national championship.Entering his 24th year at the helm of the men's volleyball program, Ball hasamassed a record of 384-271, which ranks him sixth on the all-time NCAAwins chart. Ball also ranks 11th on the all-time winning percentage list.

Ball coached the IPFW women's volleyball team from 1981 to 1988, winningthe Great Lakes Valley Conference four times and earning a spot in the NCAADivision II Tournament in 1987 and 1988. He ended his eight-year stint withthe women's program with an overall record of 231-102.

A graduate of Ball State, Ball earned a bachelor's and master's degree inphysical education in 1967 and 1971, respectively. During his undergraduateyears, he enjoyed an outstanding playing career, lettering three years andearning All-MIVA honors twice. During his senior year, Ball was chosen asteam captain and named Most Valuable Player.

Assistant Coach Ryan "Rock" Perrotte, former four-year starter for the Mastodons, takes on the role as assistant coach of the IPFWmen’s volleyball team. He is orginally from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Perrotte presently holds the block assist record at IPFW with429. He is also the current record holder for highest hitting percentage in a match (.850 vs. Ohio State, 1999). Perrotte played akey role for the team that participated in the 1999 NCAA Final Four at UCLA. He was also selected to the MIVA second-team All-Conference team. In his four years playing for IPFW, he helped the Mastodons achieve a 67-33 record. Since 1999, Perrotte hasbeen broadcasting with College 56 providing colorful commentary and play-by-play for various IPFW athletic events. Perrottereceived an undergraduate degree in accounting and is working toward a master’s in communication.

Mark Franke has been involved with the IPFW men's volleyball team in official and unofficial capacities since the team's formationin 1981. Since 1989, Franke has been a volunteer assistant coach with the team and has been part of all four of IPFW's NCAA FinalFour appearances. He has no volleyball experience or background, having learned the sport on the IPFW bench, and takes pride inbeing known as the most volleyball-ignorant coach in the NCAA. Still, Franke is an integral part of IPFW's winning strategy becauseof his unique ability to record and analyze an opponent's tendencies throughout the course of a match, and then predicting thenext play they will run. He is well-loved by the players, but only because he carries the team's meal money on the road.

A 1973 graduate of IPFW with a major in economics, Franke has been employed at IPFW for the past 26 years. He currently serves the university as assistant comptroller, director of financial aid and student information system director. Franke has alsoearned two master's degrees in business at IPFW. Coach Franke met and married his wife Tommy while they were undergraduatesat IPFW. Tommy holds bachelor's and master's degrees in education from IPFW. She is principal and 7-8 grade teacher atAscension Lutheran School, and serves as official scorekeeper for both the men's and women's volleyball teams. They have two adult children who broke their father's wallet by attending college elsewhere and their mother's heart by living elsewhere after graduation.

Putting the Studentin Student-Athlete

and in 1996, a grade-point average andtest-score sliding index went into effectfor Division I. This scale allows student-athletes with higher grades to qualify withlower test scores and vice versa.

Wanna Play? Know the RulesAny high-school student who is inter-

ested in playing sports at the NCAADivision I or II level should learn aboutthe standards as early as possible. Inaddition, high-school student-athletesshould talk to their guidance counselorsand coaches to learn more.

High-school students can also call theNCAA’s Eligibility Hotline, 800/638-3731.This number features recordings withinformation on a number of freshman eli-gibility topics, including accommoda-tions for students with learning disabili-ties. Students can also order a free copyof the “Guide for the College-BoundStudent-Athlete” by calling the hotlineand following the prompts. Informationabout the recruiting process and aboutinitial-eligibility requirements is availableonline at NCAA Online (www.ncaa.org).

The NCAA’s Initial-Eligibility Clearing-house ensures that student-athletes havemet the academic requirements and cer-tifies their eligibility to play sports asfreshmen. High-school student-athletesaspiring to play Division I or II athletics

should register with the clearinghouseafter completing their junior year.

Clearinghouse information and regis-tration forms are available from high-school guidance counselors; from theNCAA Eligibility Hotline (800/638-3731)or from the NCAA Clearinghouse, P.O.Box 4044, Iowa City, IA 52243-4044, tele-phone 319/337-1492. The clearinghousekeeps registered student-athletesinformed about the qualifications theyhave and have not met concerning fresh-men eligibility.

Once student-athletes are enrolled incollege, there are more academic stan-dards to be met. Student-athletes mustshow continuing progress toward adegree each year, including a minimumnumber of credits passed. From thejunior year on, these standards placegreat emphasis on progress madetoward a specific degree program andensure that student-athletes don’t accu-mulate large numbers of credits thatwon’t help them earn a specific degree.

The NCAA also has established vari-ous scholarship and grant programs toencourage student-athletes to pursuetheir undergraduate and postgraduatedegrees. The Degree-Completion Grantprogram assists those who haveexhausted their eligibility for institutionalfinancial aid. There are also Women’s andEthnic Minority Enhancement programsand several postgraduate scholarshipopportunities.

The end result? Student-athletes arenow more likely than ever to enter theircollegiate programs prepared and readyto succeed athletically and academically.■

Over the last few years, the NCAAand its member colleges and uni-

versities have worked hard to emphasizethe student in the term student-athlete.Academic standards and rules have beendeveloped and changed to ensure thatstudent-athletes can excel in the class-room as they do in their sports. The resultof these reforms has been that student-athletes are more likely than ever beforeto succeed in the collegiate environment.

The CHAMPS/Life Skills program wasdeveloped by the NCAA to help preparestudent-athletes for the challenges of lifebeyond the playing field. The focus of theprogram is on commitments viewed ascritical to personal growth: academicexcellence, personal development, ser-vice and career development. In addition,NCAA schools work hard to offer furtheracademic support programs to help stu-dent-athletes prosper. These programsoffer access to study facilities and tutorsas well as monitor student-athleteprogress.

One result of these programs is thatNCAA Division I student-athletes havebeen consistently graduating at a ratehigher than the rest of the student body.For the class entering college in 1990, 56percent of the overall student body atNCAA Division I institutions graduated,while Division I student-athletes graduat-ed at a rate of 58 percent. The rate doesnot include student-athletes who transferto and graduate from another institution.

Minimum academic requirementsthat student-athletes must meet to playsports as freshmen in college are onereason for the higher graduation rates. In1982, a group of college presidents, spon-sored by the American Council onEducation, proposed a set of minimumacademic standards to determine fresh-man athletics eligibility. The first set ofstandards was implemented in 1986.They required that freshmen graduatehigh school with a minimum grade-pointaverage of 2.000 in 11 core academiccourses and a minimum standardizedtest score of 700 on the SAT or 15 on theACT to be eligible to play sports andreceive an athletics scholarship.

Five years ago, the number of requiredcore academic courses was raised to 13

Reloaded...All or NothingFor IPFW men's volleyball coach Arnie Ball,there is only one goal each and everyseason…an NCAA Championship. Anythingshort of that for Ball is an unsuccessful season.“I’ve never had a successful team here,” Ballsaid.” And, what I mean by success is winninga National Championship. Now, we’ve hadsome very good teams, we've won a lot ofmatches, and we've had kids named All-American and make the National Team, but the

only reason you coach is to win a National Championship. So, that is the bottom line.”

Four trips to the Final-Four confirm that the IPFW head man is on the right track. The chips just haven't fallen the ‘Dons way. “Todo that (win a title) we have to develop some team cohesiveness and believe in the concepts that we are trying to teach," Ballnoted. “This team is a pretty close knit group, and people who get along and share the same goals, do some really great things.So, I think that is what we really have to focus on.”

Going into the 2004 season, the Mastodons have huge shoes to fill in the departure of seniors Jeff Ptak and Angel Ruiz.

Ptak, the MIVA Player-of-the-year, led IPFW with 5.18 kills per game. Ruiz contributed 267.5 points, but Ball has been pleasantlysurprised with his team's early makeup.

“We are probably better off than I thought we would be, even though we have four returners back. With Dennis (Santiago) andMatty (Matt Zbyszewski), who are the stalwarts of the four kids we have coming back, we played pretty well in Canada (pre-season).” “We are very athletic at three spots (setter, middle, right side). We’re just very inexperienced at the left side, and ifthat doesn't change, it will make it a very difficult season,” Ball added.

At the setter position is Santiago, an athletic, 6’3” junior from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, who registered 1,022 assists in 2003, with ahitting percentage of .309. With his athletic ability, he has a penchant for trying to do some things that most players won't eventry. Some good. Some bad. But, always exciting. “He is exciting,” Ball said with a smile. “He makes too many mistakes, but he isgetting better…he'll do some things, and you'll just sit back and go..I can't believe what I just saw, but it was good.”

The right side belongs to senior opposite hitter Matt Zbyszewski (Toronto, Ontario, Canada). Zbyszewski was second behind Ptak in kills with 370 last season. He was also named to the MIVA All-Conference Second Team. “Matty is just a workhorse,” accordingto Ball. “Offensively he is very good, and he's a good blocker. He is also our best server, so Matty is going to be a critical part ofour success.”

Sophomore Serdar Sikca (6’6”/MB/Istanbul, Turkey) is the anchor in the middle. Sikca tallied 122 total blocks for IPFW in 2003. Healso had a hitting percentage of .377. “Serdar is very athletic with a lot of international experience, so that is a solid spot for us,"Ball said.

2003–04 Mastodons Volleyball29

Page 32: 2004 IPFW Men's Volleyball Media Guide

Coach Ball will be looking to a number of players to step up andtake control of the left-side. “Mitch (Dreisbach), Nick (Belman),or Isaac (White) could play there. So, the six spot is the one weare not sure about.

Dreisbach, a 6’6” junior from Mishawaka, Indiana, averaged2.27 kills per game for IPFW last season. Belman,(6’4”/Jr/Akron, OH) is recovering from an arm injury, and it willtake some time to get back into playing shape. He appeared in25 games in ‘03. White, a 6’3” senior from Gambier, Ohio playedin nine games last season, averaging just under a kill per game.

Ball has decided on senior Dustin Sherman (5’10”/FortWayne/North Side) as the ‘Dons’ libero. “He has a greatattitude,” Ball said. “The only thing suspect right now is hisability to pass the ball consistently. He plays with a great deal ofenthusiasm and intensity, so we're OK there.”

Sophomore Mike Daiga (6’6”/Columbus, OH) will also play themiddle. And, as coach Ball explains, it is not his natural position,but unselfishly Daiga will fill a need. “Mike is not truly a middle,but we've had to put him there. He has the right size and work ethic. He's just a real hard working kid. Middle is a position thatdoesn't get a lot of the headlines…they do the dirty work, and Mike has the right attitude to do that.” As a freshman, Daigaappeared in 56 games so experience is not a factor.

Added into the mix are three newcomers. Mike Randolph is a 6’3” sophomore transfer from Missouri Valley College. His impactwill be felt immediately. “Last year we didn't have a back-up setter, and Mike will serve that roll for us. He has played really wellso far," the coach said.

Freshmen Trevor Newman (6’8”/MB/Middleton, WI) and Jarrod Quillen (6’4”/OH/LaGrange, OH) are also new to the club in 2004.“Trevor is a big kid, who needs a lot of experience,” according to Ball. “He’s a big, strong kid who works really hard, and he'll beour back-up middle.” “Jarrod has progressed nicely this fall, he also needs a lot of experience.”

IPFW will also get the addition of another player in January. Cristiano Moreira will join the squad once the spring term begins.Moreira is a 6'4" freshman outside hitter from Belo Horizante, Brazil. The same city that produced IPFW women's volleyballstandout Fabiana Souza.

“I think this group has the potential to push the other teams in this conference,” Ball said. “Ohio State will be good. LewisUniversity (The 2003 National Champion) has all of their people back, but if we get all of our people in place, we’ll push thoseteams.” “And, obviously if that happens, we'll get a chance to go to the Final Four, and that is the initial goal. You can't win achampionship if you don't go to the Final Four.”“I don't ever settle for anything less than getting a chance to go and win the "big thing", and obviously I haven't done that.”Ball added.

One thing is obvious though, IPFW has one of the most talented coaching staffs in the NCAA, and if this edition of the Mastodonslearns their lesson well, the sky is the limit.
