University of San Francisco Women's Volleyball Team
Most Israeli Team in US College Sports?
Editor's note: The San Francisco Dons have an Israeli coach in Doron Gilad (above center), an Israeli Libero (Becky Kopilovitch, #16) and an Israeli Middle Blocker (Inbar Vinarsky, #6) and could be the most Israeli team in college sports. The two women are a part of the Israeli National Team coached by legendary Olympic coach Arie Selinger. The following article was written last week about Gilad Doron and his coaching philosophy.

WATCH THE VIDEO
Teachers pass along the knowledge of a certain area of expertise to help their students grow and become better at that craft.
Coaching is no different.
With unique behind-the-scenes footage of practice sessions, games and personal one-on-one interaction between USF's head coaches and their student-athletes, "Teacher" attempts to show viewers the bond that is developed between a coach and student-athletes.
Gilad Doron, in the midst of his seventh season on the Hilltop, stands as the winningest coach in USF volleyball history and is four wins away from reaching the 100-victory milestone as the USF head coach. Under Doron's tutelage, 23 Dons have been recognized by the West Coast Conference for their on-court performances, including eight All-WCC Team selections, two Defensive Player of the Year awards, eight All-WCC Honorable Mention selections, and five All-WCC Freshman Team winners.
He led the Dons to the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in program history in 2008, and is hungry to continue those successes on the court. But along with that, Doron is striving to make a lasting impact in the lives of his players that extends beyond their four years in San Francisco.
Step into Doron's coaching philosophy: Learn how to learn. Learn how to work. Learn how to lead. Accomplish significant things.
Meet Gilad Doron ... Teacher.
