TULSA, Okla. - Tulsa Head Volleyball Coach Steven McRoberts announced Wednesday the appointment of Kyle Gamble as an assistant coach, marking the completion of the first-year TU head coach's staff.
Gamble comes to Tulsa as a recent graduate of McNeese State University, where he received his bachelor of science degree in general studies, with an emphasis on human performance. A coach's son, Gamble spent his college career as a student assistant coach to his father, Terry Gamble, most recently at McNeese State. The younger Gamble has been an assistant coach at the collegiate level for six years, as well as serving as a club volleyball head coach for six years.
"I'm very excited to get Kyle on board with us," McRoberts said. "Even though he is young, he brings a lot of experience. He has worked under a great coach his whole life, and I know he is ready to step out and make his mark here at TU."
Prior to his stint at McNeese State for the 2010-11 year, Gamble spent a year at Midland University, two years at Iowa Western Community College and two years at St. Clair Community College. He also served as Junior Varsity Head Coach at Midland University.
Gamble has been a club volleyball head coach, most recently for the Cowgirl Volleyball Club 16-Under team since 2010. He also coached the Omaha Wave Volleyball Club 17-Under and 16-Under from 2009-10, the Top Ten Volleyball Club 18-Under and 16-Under from 2007-09, and the Michigan Elite Volleyball Club 15-Under squad from 2006-07.
Gamble has coached at college summer camps for several schools, including Creighton, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, McNeese State and Texas Tech.
