Jason Mansfield spent five seasons as assistant coach at Washington from 2018 throughย 2022 before leaving to take the head coaching job at Kansas State. Mansfield worked with Pac-12 and Big Ten powers, coaching in seven Final Fours, including his first with the Huskies in the spring of 2021. He has mentored a total of 25 individual All-Americans during his 20 years of coaching, and has coached five athletes that have gone on to compete in the Olympic Games for Team USA.
In his five seasons at Washington, Mansfield helped the Huskies advance to four Sweet Sixteens in the NCAA tournament, going farther to the Elite Eight in 2019, and then to the Final Four in the spring of 2021. His work with the outside hitters netted seven All-America honors for three Huskies: Kara Bajema, Samantha Drechsel, and Claire Hoffman, with Bajema and Drechsel each garnering First Team status.ย Bajema broke the UW single season kills record in 2019 and ranked fourth in the NCAA with 597, and has since gone on to a stellar pro career overseas and a spot on the U.S. Senior National Team.
Mansfield also helped the Huskies win the 2020 and 2021 Pac-12 Championships, adding to the seven he helped win as a coach at Stanford.
Mansfield distinguished himself with an extremely successful 14 years at Stanford from 2002-16, first as a volunteer assistant in 2002 and 2003, and moving to a full-time assistant coaching role in 2004, helping Stanford win the NCAA title that first year. Over his Stanford tenure, he helped the Cardinal reach six Final Fours and win seven Pac-12 titles.

"Jason brings the right balance of shared values and outside perspective that we were looking for," said Husky Head Coach Keegan Cook upon Mansfield's hiring.ย "Our team will greatly benefit from the depth of Jason's experiences coaching championship teams and developing All-American student-athletes.ย Positive, loyal, responsible and diligent are just a few of the values that people associate with Jason."
ย
As an assistant coach at Stanford, working with AVCAย Hall of Fame Head Coach John Dunning, Mansfield coached 17 different All-Americans, four National Players of the Year, and four future Olympians (Logan Tom, Ogonna Nnamani, Foluke Akinradewo, Alix Klineman). At Illinois he coached three more All-Americans in two seasons and another future U.S. Olympian in Jordyn Poulter. The 20 All-America players he coached at Stanford and Illinois combined for 46 total AVCA honors. In his second and final season at Illinois, the Fighting Illini advanced to the NCAA Round of 16, upsetting the Huskies in the second round.
Mansfield also compiled a stellar run as a club coach with the Vision Volleyball Club from 2000-2016 with his teams earning seven Junior Olympic medals, 26 Junior Olympic All-Tournament selections, and the club producing 19 Volleyball Magazine "Fab 50" recruits. His first volleyball coaching experience came at Foothill Community College from 1997-99.
