WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State volleyball associate head coach Sean Carter and assistant coach Chelsea Scott have accepted coaching positions at Idaho State University. Carter will be the Bengals head coach, while Scott will serve as his top assistant. 

Carter was with the Shockers for eight seasons, including five as associate head coach. He helped guide the Shockers to three NCAA Tournament appearances and a National Invitational Volleyball Championship appearance, while also claiming one American Athletic Conference regular-season title, one Missouri Valley Conference regular season title, and two MVC Tournament titles. He coached four Wichita State All-Americans (Abbie Lehman, Katie Reilly, Jody Larson, Tabitha Brown) during that span and led the Shockers to a 151-86 overall record.

Scott spent four years at Wichita State, earning a promotion to full-time assistant after two seasons as the Shockers volunteer assistant coach. She helped power WSU to a 19-10 overall record in 2021, good for Wichita State's best season in The American since an undefeated run through the AAC in 2017. Scott also assisted with the operational aspects of the program, coordinating travel, lodging and team meals.

Carter replaces Sammi Stuart at Idaho State, who stepped down on May 12 due to personal reasons after three seasons in Pocatello. The Bengals finished 7-21 in 2022, including a 3-13 mark in the Big Sky conference.
