The decision was made by the schools Board of Governors on January 13 — two weeks before students were alerted.
Come on out and join us as we learn about — I mean, cheer on — our volleyball teams.
This was Butenschon’s second season guiding the T-Birds.
“Our whole team came out with a lot of energy and drive, not letting balls hit the ground, and going after everything.”
"Hats off to them, they played a really complete match and they made us have to be our best today — and we weren't our best."
"The class and character of our players and their motivations and how dedicated they are is just exceptional to be a coach of a team like that.”
If the UBC batters can get going again as they did on Sunday, the Thunderbirds offence is going to be formidable and difficult to slow down going forward in the season.
“They brought me in because they wanted a university coach to try and bridge the gap and make sure that the best players were playing for Basketball BC when they go to the national championships.”

They needed to win against the Winnipeg Wesmen in the bronze medal match to book their ticket to the U Sports championships — they did just that on Friday night.
For the Dinos, it would be their first Canada West title since 2005.
“Overall, there are still things to work out,” Gill said. “But I think the guys adapted quite well.”
