Mosley got her start in collegiate coaching in 2024, serving as a graduate assistant for Angelo State University Volleyball. A familiar face on the Hill, Mosley played volleyball for WKU from 2020-2023 where she helped the Hilltoppers to four regular season championships, three tournament championships, and four trips to the NCAA Tournament. In her freshman season, the Hilltoppers reached the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. While at Angelo State, the Belles went 32-3 overall, including a Lone Star Conference tournament championship, NCAA DII South Central Region champions, and finished third in the nation. Mosley, a native of Louisville, Kentucky, graduated with a degree in Physical Education from Western Kentucky in May 2024 and is currently pursuing her master's in Recreation and Sport Administration.

With more than 20 years of Division I assistant coaching experience, Craig Bere brought his extensive volleyball knowledge to The Hill prior to the 2015 season and the Hilltoppers haven't taken their foot off the gas pedal since. Bere is set for his ninth season on the sidelines for WKU volleyball in the 2023-24 school year, his first as associate head coach. Embarking on his ninth season on The Hill, Bere’s knowledge and expertise helped gude the Hilltoppers to their ninth CUSA regular-season and eighth tournament championships. With an automatic bid into the NCAA championship, Bere contirbuted to WKU’s continued success with their fifth-straight NCAA Tournament Second Round appearance. WKU opened the season at No. 24 and finished the season ranked No. 22. Bere also helped outside hitter Paige Briggs earn her third All-American accolade as well as becoming the fourth player in WKU program history to be drafted to play professional volleyball. Even in a challenging preseason to the 2022 campaign, Bere’s 8th season on The Hill still composed a 29-4 record, which included the program’s 1000th win and a fourth-straight NCAA Tournament Second Round appearance with an at-large bid to the Dance. After starting the 2022 season without starting libero Kelsey Brangers due to injury, true freshman Abby Schaefer took charge in the passing game all season long, along with redshirt-freshman Callie Bauer setting, new to the court. The Tops would gain their 15th championship since joining C

Conner had experience working with a pair of NCAA Division I programs prior to Vanderbilt, having served as a fellow working with the women's indoor and beach volleyball teams at Southern California during the 2023-24 campaign after completing a residency supporting the same sport programs at Coastal Carolina the previous season. She is a 2020 graduate of Valdosta State, where she received a degree in exercise science, and completed her master's degree in athletic training at Charlotte in 2022. Conner is a member of both the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Athletic Trainers' Association.

Griffin returned for her 15th season on the WKU volleyball staff during the 2023-24 school year and third as the program’s Director of Operations. Griffin has also coached at Jacksonville State and the University of Southern Indiana prior to her 11 seasons as an assistant at WKU. Since her arrival in 2009, the Hilltoppers own 10 NCAA Tournament appearances and seven regular season Conference USA championships, seven C-USA Tournament Championships, three Sun Belt Conference Regular-Season Championships and two SBC Tournament titles. With Griffin on staff, WKU has a record of 398-68 overall and 198-15 against conference opponents. Griffin has helped guide 36 All-Conference USA honorees and 21 All-Sun Belt Conference selections, including four-time All-Americans Alyssa Cavanaugh, Jessica Lucas, and Lauren Matthews, three-time All-Americans Melanie Stutsman, Rachel Anderson, Paige Briggs, two-time All-American Jordyn Skinner, as well as Nadia Dieudonne who earned her first honor following stellar 2020-21 campaign. During the 2023 campaign, Griffin helped guide the Hilltopppers to a 30-5 overall record and a perfect 16-0 CUSA record. The Tops also earned the longest 20-win season win streak in all of Division 1 with 24 seasons.
