Scott Joseph Touzinsky (born April 22, 1982) is an American volleyball player and coach. He was a member of the U.S. national team 2007–2018. With the national team, Touzinsky played in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and won a gold medal.
Touzinsky attended Long Beach State and finished his career as the single-season ace leader. In 2004, his senior season, he was an AVCA First Team All-American and became the all-time ace leader for Long Beach State. In January 2004, he became just the third player in NCAA Division I-II to score 40 or more kills in an all rally-scoring match when he posted 40 versus BYU. He led the 49'ers to the 2004 NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship match, where they finished as runners-up to BYU. In addition, he was the 2001 MPSF Freshman of the Year and was a Second Team All-American in 2003.[citation needed]
Professional careeredit
In 2004, he tore his anterior cruciate ligament and was told he might never play volleyball at a professional level again. After six months, he returned to volleyball and was playing with a professional team in Belgium.[2] In January 2017, he announced his retirement from professional volleyball.[3]
College coachingedit
Touzinsky was a Long Beach State assistant coach.[4]
Suspensionedit
He was suspended by USA Volleyball in July 2018 because of a pending investigation by the United States Center for SafeSport.[5][4][6] Since the NCAA does not fall under SafeSport jurisdiction, Touzinsky was not prohibited from coaching in college.[4][7] The complaint against Touzinsky related to when Touzinsky was a player on the U.S. National Team.[4] Touzinsky left the program in April 2019 after it was revealed he was sanctioned by SafeSport following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.[8]
