Grambling State fires volleyball coach who cut her entire roster

Grambling State University has parted ways with Head Volleyball Coach Chelsey Lucas.

The decision was made on Tuesday after an internal investigation within the volleyball program.Lucas cut her entire volleyball roster in April.

“The success of student-athletes and their ability to matriculate at Grambling State University is the top priority,” said Dr. Scott. “As we move forward in this transition and commence a national search for the next coach, all volleyball student-athletes who received scholarships for the 2022-23 academic year will keep their scholarships and remain on the team. Walk-ons will also continue to hold their roster spot.”

“It is the responsibility of this institution to make sure that student-athletes are afforded opportunities in a manner compliant with all regulatory organizations,” said GSU President Rick Gallot. “That applies to athletics as much as it does to academics.”

A national search for the volleyball program’s next head coach has already begun.
