He has been with the USC women’s program since its inception in VAVIC AT USC 1995, and has led both teams to national championships three times in 1996 the same school year (1998-99, 2003-04 and 2009-10). A 12-time National MPSF Men’s Co-Coach of the Year Coach of the Year and 10-time MPSF Coach of the Year, Vavic boasts a grand total of 13 combined national titles — including a six-year run with the USC 1998 men — and has coached 10 Cutino Award winners. With 13 national championships (nine men’s and four National Men’s Co-Coach of the Year women’s) won during his tenure at USC, Vavic has the most team titles of any USC head coach in history. 1999 Vavic’s 2015 women’s team reached the NCAA Tournament for the 12th straight season, taking third MPSF Women’s Coach of the Year place for the second straight season and ending with a 24-6 overall record on the year. That mark im- proved Vavic’s overall career record on the women’s side to 490-142 (.775) as he now enters his 22nd National Women’s Coach of the Year season as the USC’s women’s head coach. 2003 In the calendar years of 2013 and 2010, Vavic swept both sides of the game, winning national cham- MPSF Men’s Coach of the Year pionships with the women in the spring and following that with men’s titles in the fall of those years. National Men’s Coach of the Year In 2013, the Women of Troy won the longest NCAA women’s championship game in history, beating 2004 Stanford 10-9 in triple sudden death to claim USC’s fourth national championship on the women’s side, while finishing with a 27-1 overall record. The USC men would follow with a historic feat of their MPSF Women’s Coach of the Year own, winning an unprecedented sixth straight national championship in claiming the 2013 crown. In National Women’s Coach of the Year 2010, the USC women and men went back-to-back as Vavic followed 2010 National and MPSF Coach 2005 of the Year awards on the women’s side with 2010 National and MPSF Coach of the Year with the men MPSF Men’s Coach of the Year in leading the Trojan men to their third consecutive national championship. Following the USC men’s 2009 NCAA title and the USC women’s run to the 2010 national championship, National Men’s Coach of the Year Vavic saw two Trojans sweep the Cutino Awards for the third time in his career, as J.W. Krumpholz and 2006 Kami Craig went back-to-back as the 2009 and 2010 Cutino Award winners following the USC women’s MPSF Men’s Coach of the Year run to the 2010 NCAA Championship. The first Trojan pair to sweep the awards was Juraj Zatovic and 2008 Lauren Wenger in 2006. Since 1999 when the program was fully funded, Vavic’s record is 401-69 (.853), including 11 consecutive MPSF Men’s Coach of the Year NCAA tournament appearances. Between 2003 and 2010, Vavic was named either MPSF or National National Men’s Coach of the Year Coach of the Year (or both) every year but one. His 2004 women’s team won the national champion- 2009 ship and became the first team in NCAA Championship history to go undefeated (29-0). In 1999, 2004 National Men’s Coach of the Year and 2010, Vavic was named the women’s National and MPSF Coach of the Year. Vavic oversaw the team’s move from Division II in 1995 to Division I in 1996. He guided USC to its 2010 first-ever Division I National Collegiate Championships appearance in 1997 and a seventh-place national MPSF Women’s Coach of the Year finish while the 1998 team took fifth nationally. In 1999, USC won the national championship, and Vavic National Women’s Coach of the Year was named the National Coach of the Year and the MPSF Coach of the Year. The 2000 squad added MPSF Men’s Coach of the Year another strong showing, finishing second nationally. Vavic came to USC in 1992 as an assistant men’s water polo coach, joined John Williams as co-head National Men’s Coach of the Year coach in 1995 and took over the men’s program in 1999 after Williams retired. He and Williams were 2011 named National Coaches of the Year in 1998 after leading USC to its first-ever national championship. National Men’s Coach of the Year They were also named MPSF Co-Coaches of the Year in 1996 after leading USC to the conference title. 2012 In fact, in the 1998-99 season, Vavic did something no other coach has accomplished as his teams National Men’s Coach of the Year won three national championships. Besides capturing the 1998 men’s and 1999 women’s titles, his 1999 men’s club team won the Men’s Senior National Club Championship. In 21 seasons at the helm 2013 of the USC men’s program, Vavic has improved his career coaching record on the men’s side to 494-82 MPSF Women’s Coach of the Year (.858) with national championships won in 1998, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. National Women’s Coach of the Year Vavic, a native of Yugoslavia, spent the 1990 season as an assistant men’s coach at UCLA. Previously, he coached three seasons (1987-1990) at Palos Verdes (Calif.) High, where he led Palos Verdes to two Men’s career coaching record: undefeated league seasons (1987-89). Vavic also served as assistant coach to the U.S. team at the 1995 494-82 (.858) • 21 seasons World University Games, and was the head coach of the team in 2003. Women’s career coaching record: In November 2012, Vavic was named interim head coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team, and led Team USA to World Championship qualification with success at the 2013 UANA World Aquatic Cham- 490-142 (.775) • 21 seasons pionship Qualification Tournament in Canada. Vavic graduated from UCLA in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in history. He and his wife, Lisa, have four children: Nikola, Monica, Marko and Stefan.
