Formal statistics have evolved slowly in the sport of collegiate volleyball since the sport was sanctioned by the NCAA in 1970. Unfortunately, the accuracy and defi nitions of such statistics kept by member schools was not ensured until 1986. Th e record-keeping for certain categories, for example, set assists and blocking, only has been required in the last 23 years. With due respect to the legends of UCLA Brandon Taliaferro Men’s Volleyball, their names are not listed because our records are incomplete. 22 2014 UCLA MEN’S VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE • 19-TIME NCAA CHAMPIONS UCLA VOLLEYBALL RECORDS (1981-present) — CAREER/SEASON CHARTS
