Alisa Blair - Women's Volleyball Coach

Alisa Blair

Title:
Interim Head Coach & Recruiting Coordinator

Alisa Blair was named the Interim Head Coach of Texas Tech Volleyball on September 13, 2026 by Athletics Director Kirby Hocutt.

The Red Raiders have another talented freshmen class coming in ahead of the 2026, bringing in six true freshmen and two redshirt freshmen to build on the 2025 class. Six of the Red Raiders nine freshmen last season had big roles and looked to establish themselves as the core for Tech moving forward. In her four seasons, Blair has brought in some top young talent to help lay the foundation for the program.

Blair helped the Red Raiders put together one of the largest freshmen classes in the country, welcoming in nine freshmen - two redshirts and seven true - in 2025. Those nine freshmen are the most in the last 11 years and is exactly what he brought Blair in to do, recruit. The talented crop of prospects will look to be the core of the program over the coming years.

Blair joins the Red Raiders after spending the 2022 season as the head coach for Abilene Christian. While there, Blair coached a member of the WAC All-Freshman Team in outside hitter Ashli Edmiston, who led the Wildcats in digs while ranking second on the team with 255 kills, the second-most by a freshman since ACU's move to Division I. It was Blair's second stint serving as a head coach.

Blair also served three seasons as head coach, and another as assistant coach, at Hill College. While at the helm for Hill College, she collected an 83-38 (.686) overall record, won the 2014 Region V Championship and was named Coach of the Year that same season. Coaching multiple All-Americans at Hill College, the team would also finish in the top-15 of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) rankings in every season she was there.

Prior to her stint with Abilene Christian, Blair served as the assistant coach and lead recruiter at Stephen F. Austin for four seasons. Blair helped the Ladyjacks accumulate an impressive record of 105-21 (.833), tally four Southland Conference regular season titles and make two NCAA Tournament appearances. She also helped oversee recruiting efforts, team logistics and travel, player development and summer camps.

Before working with the Ladyjacks, Blair joined the University of Central Oklahoma volleyball team as the assistant coach for the 2017 season, where she aided the team to a 29-6 record and 15-3 conference record in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) as the Bronchos would go on to make an NCAA Tournament appearance.

Blair was an outside hitter and defensive specialist at Angelo State University from 2009-12. During her career, Blair appeared in 161 sets and produced 151 kills, 47 aces and 269 digs and helped the team to the 2012 Lone Star Conference Championship for the first time in 20 years. While with the Belles, Angelo State totaled a 98-38 record and made an appearance in the South Central Regional Championship.

Blair received her bachelor's degree in psychology in 2012, then earned her master's of education, coaching, sport, recreation and fitness administration in 2016 from ASU.
