After watching Houston volleyball star Kate Georgiades crash into a table to keep a rally going in her team's win over South Dakota in the NCAA tournament, Mick Cronin decided to offer her a job.
Georgiades, the American Athletic Conference libero of the year in 2021, went viral Friday night after a clip showed her jumping over a table to get the save for her team and then jumping back into the game to help the team score a point.
Georgiades could have a graduate assistant role on his staff if she ever wanted to help coach basketball, according to the coach.
The clip was shown to his team. Georgiades' effort in her team's win over South Dakota was an example that he wanted his players to emulate.
Some guys won't take a charge. She hates Pete Rose. On that table, all-out. I've never seen a better play. It's in any sport.
After her freshman year, Georgiades transferred to Houston. Houston, a 5-seed this year, defeated auburn on Saturday to advance to the NCAA regionals, where they will face top-seed stanford on Thursday.
Georgiades should win an ESPY, according to Cronin.
She finished the play even though she did it.
