Miami Redhawks

Tania Schatow returns for her sixth season as an assistant coach at Miami and also serves as recruiting coordinator and offensive coordinator. She previously was at Louisiana State, where she served as a volunteer assistant coach for her alma mater.

Schatow has been responsible for helping Miami's hitters and blockers flourish, including two-time first-team All-MAC selection Margaret Payne and two-time All-MAC selection Gaby Harper. Miami's offensive efficiency has helped the RedHawks hold opponents to the third-fewest digs per set (14.81) in 2020, while ranking among the top four in kills, hitting percentage and assists. 

The RedHawks have been consistently strong in hitting percentage during Schatow's time, including recording a strong .238 hitting percentage in 2020, while averaging over two blocks per game in her first two seasons with the Red and White.

During her season at LSU in 2017, Schatow worked with the middle hitters in all facets of the game and helped develop the team blocking system. She helped scout opponents and organize practice plans. The Tigers went 20-10 that year, returning to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014.

Prior to returning stateside, Schatow played six seasons on the European professional circuit. She was a starting middle hitter on Oostende Volley in Belgium from 2013-17. She also played for Albi Volley (2012-13) in France and De Hann Volley (2011-12) in Belgium. She got a head start in her coaching career during this time, serving as a coach of both a Belgian under-16 girls and under-16 boys team during her playing career.

Schatow was a four-year letterwinner for LSU who had a breakout senior season campaign in 2010. She made 27 starts and recorded 90 blocks, the second highest total on the team. Schatow graduated from LSU in 2011 with a degree in kinesiology.
