Brian Baise

Harvard Men's Volleyball Head Coach

     Brian Baise enters his twelfth season as head coach of the Harvard men's volleyball team in 2019. Over ten seasons, he has ushered in an era of unprecedented success for the Crimson.
     You need not look further than the 2012 season for evidence of Harvard’s turnaround, as the Baise led Crimson earned the program’s first-ever national ranking and finished the year at No. 15 in the AVCA Coaches Poll. Harvard posted an 18-6 overall record on the year and finished second in the EIVA with a 10-4 conference mark, earning Baise EIVA Bob Sweeney Coach of the Year honors. Additionally, Harvard’s 18 wins were third-most in program history.  Harvard also posted its first win over a ranked opponent under Baise with a 3-1 defeat of then-No. 12 Cal State Northridge.
     In 2013, Baise and the Crimson continued on the road to success earning a national ranking on Feb. 25 at No. 14 in the AVCA Poll. Harvard finished second at the EIVA postseason tournament and posted its third 18-win season that included the program's first defeat of EIVA leader Penn State, 3-0, Feb. 15 and second victory over a ranked opponent under Baise.
     The Crimson earned a fourth-consecutive trip to the EIVA Championships in 2015, finishing second in conference play at 7-5, and tied the program's all-time highest ranking at No. 13 Feb. 9. 
     The successes continued in 2016 as Harvard reached the EIVA Tournament for a fifth-straight year and finished the campaign at 13-11 overall, 9-6 in conference. 
Baise completed his first season at Harvard in 2009, helping lead the Crimson to a tie for first place in the EIVA Hay Division with an 11-8 overall record and a 6-2 conference mark.
    The 2018 season finished as the best season in program history as the Crimson won their first EIVA championship and concluded the NCAA tournament in the round of the final 6. Coaching Brad Gretsch and Marko Kostich to first team All-EIVA selections, the Crimson also included 5 players on the EIVA All-Academic team.
     Baise is a 1995 graduate of Princeton where he earned a degree in English and was a four-year starter for the Tigers. A former two-time Junior Olympic All-American, Baise served as the Tigers' captain and was team MVP as a senior.
Before attending Princeton, Baise was a two-time captain and 1991 California Interscholastic Federation first team selection and CIF 3A state champion at Harvard-Westlake High School. He was a member of the U.S. Junior National Team in 1992.
