Mystic alumni Kyle Kuether was named head volleyball coach at Bismarck State in spring of 2020. Kuether lead the Mystics to a 17-4 season and a region championship runner-up in his first season. The Mystics won back-to-back-to-back Mon-Dak Conference championships in 2021, 2022 and 2023; going 33-3 in conference in the three year span. Kuether also led BSC to a Region XIII and Northwest Plains District championship in 2022. Kuether was named Mon-Dak Coach of the Year in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Kuether is now entering his fifth season with the Mystics with a 94-27 overall record and 48-6 conference record. Before coaching at Bismarck State, Kuether was an assistant coach at Fargo North High School in 2009. After moving back to Bismarck Kuether started coaching at St. Mary’s High School as an assistant coach for 5 years before becoming head coach in 2015. Kuether also is heavily involved with the youth programs in Bismarck as the director for Green Wave Volleyball Club. 

"Bismarck State is a great place to work and coach. The level of support from the community is second to none. The culture of volleyball along with the supportive community and the athletes we have makes coaching fun and rewarding," Kuether said. "The lessons and values I learned while attending BSC as a student are things I hope to pass on to our student-athletes."

Kuether graduated from BSC in 2008 and North Dakota State University in 2010 with a degree in Sports Management. Kuether and his wife, Kelli, have three kids, Harper (10), Lincoln (8) and Niklynn (4), who love being around the gym and coming to the matches.
