Anson Lindsey enters into his second year as an assistant volleyball coach at Arkansas Tech.
Lindsey came to Tech in 2024 after serving two seasons as head men’s volleyball coach at Rockford University in Rockford, Ill. where he was the program’s second-ever head coach. Prior to his first collegiate head coaching role, Lindsey was an assistant women’s volleyball coach at Rock Valley College where he was heavily involved with player development, recruiting and overseeing and executing practices.
Before joining the collegiate coaching ranks full-time, Lindsey got his start at the level as a graduate assistant for the North Central College men’s volleyball program in Naperville, Ill.
