Kydd released after one season

North Idaho College head volleyball coach Miles Kydd was released after meeting with athletic director Al Williams.

Williams said NIC coaches are on year-to-year contracts and he believed Kydd didn’t fit the leadership style that he expects.

Williams said Kydd had a “great year on the court.”

Kydd helped lead the Cardinals to an 18-12 record, including regionals and nationals. NIC finished second in the Region 18 tournament this season, beating defending national champion College of Southern Idaho in the second round. The Cardinals finished sixth at the NJCAA national tournament.

Assistant coach Kelsey Stanley and Williams have taken over the coaching and management duties in the meantime.
