Tim Walsh enters his fifth season at the helm of the Coppin State volleyball program in 2021 and is the winningest coach in Eagles’ history.  In just four seasons at Coppin, Walsh, the 2020 MEAC Coach of the Year, has won 40 matches while guiding four MEAC major award winners, nine All-Conference selections and the program’s first AVCA All-Region recipient.
 
This past season, one of the most challenging in NCAA history due to CoVID-19, Walsh led the Eagles to its first-ever winning season and Northern Division Championship due to a program-record ten-match winning streak and nine conference victories.

In 2019  Walsh was named to VolleyballMag.com's Top 40 Coaches Under 40.
 
Walsh came to Coppin State after spending the 2015 and 2016 seasons at Marywood University as its head coach. He guided the Pacers to a 25-36 combined record and a 15-7 conference record in two years, including the program’s 400th all-time victory in 2015. Both of his teams reached the CSAC Playoffs and were named an American Volleyball Coaches’ Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award recipient. The 2016 squad, which saw two players earn All-Conference recognition, collected 17 wins which were the most for Marywood’s program since the 2013 season.
 
Prior to Marywood, Walsh served as the Head Coach at Francis Scott Key High School in Union Bridge, MD for six seasons. He led the Eagles to the 2A Maryland State Championship in 2009. Walsh led Key to a 66-18 overall record and a .727 winning percentage. The Carroll County Times named him Volleyball Coach of the Year in 2013. He coached two county players of the year in 2009 and 2014. Eight of his players went on to play collegiately and his 2012 team reached the Class 2A West Regional Finals.
 
Additionally, Walsh was a court director and coach at the Volleyball Factory, Inc. in Columbia, MD. He worked, traveled and trained with former All-Americans and USA National Team Members Cheryl Weaver and Kristee Porter to help student-athletes excel in volleyball. He also was a head volleyball club coach at Carroll Viper Volleyball Club and Maryland Elite Volleyball Academy. Walsh has also helped out the 2014 and 2015 Big South champions and 2016 Sun Belt champions, Coastal Carolina’s head volleyball coach Jozsef Forman with his summer volleyball camps.

He was a two-year captain and starter in the Empire State Games, Hudson Valley Region Men’s Volleyball Team and played in various clubs and leagues during and after his stent at Towson University. He was a four-year Division I, cross country and track and field letter winner and captain for the Tigers.

He helped guide Holy Family to a 31-6 overall record and 18-1 in league play, as the Tigers captured the program’s first-ever CACC title and advanced to the 2018 NCAA Division II East Region Championship match.

During his time with Holy Family, Sanny mentored CACC Player of the year, AVCA East Region Player of the year and AVCA Third Team All-American Chase Wassel. Sanny worked in numerous roles with the Holy Family volleyball program. He managed the day-to-day operations of the team, provided live, in-game statistics to the bench as well as pre-match scouting packages for the coaching staff for every game played. He was also responsible for statistical input using DataVolley as well as opponent scouting.
