Charita Stubbs becomes the next head coach of the Arizona Wildcats volleyball program.
Justin Spears The day after longtime Arizona Wildcats volleyball coach Dave Rubio announced his retirement, the UA hired his successor Charita Stubbs.
“I am incredibly excited to name Charita Stubbs as our next head volleyball coach,” Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke said in a press release. “As a former Wildcat student-athlete and longtime member of Dave Rubio’s staff, Rita has a great appreciation and understanding of what it means to compete for the University of Arizona.
Formerly Charita Johnson, she played for Rubio at Arizona from 1992-94 and became the first player in program history to tab 300 kills, 300 digs and 100 blocks in one season. She led the Wildcats to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances during her final two seasons, and earned All-Pac-10 honors in '94. Stubbs holds records for career and single match solo blocks.
