Gibboney, the MSOE Sports Information Director (SID) and head men's volleyball coach, was considered as a finalist for the award. Gibboney was one of three Division III SID's selected in the men's volleyball category. This is his fourth consecutive year to receive this honor.
Within the past year, Gibboney has written articles for the AVCA monthly magazine Coaching Volleyball, emphasizing drills that can be used by coaches to enhance their practices. He is also responsible for media releases for the men's volleyball program and the 21 other varsity programs at MSOE. Gibboney also serves the university as coach of the men's volleyball program where he led the team to a 14th place ranking among NCAA Division III institutions.
"Brian is very deserving of this award, not only for the tireless hours he puts in for sports information, but also for coaching." said Athletic Director Dan Harris. "He deserves this award not only for what he does for volleyball, but for what he does for all sports at MSOE."
The AVCA selects national winners for the Grant Burger Media Award in four different categories; Broadcast, Print, Web and Sports Information/Athletic Communications. Further, the finalists for the Sports Information/Athletic Communications category came from region winners in each of the NCAA divisions.
