As of his induction into the SOU Hall of Fame in 2011, Elliott's 381 wins ranked as the most in SOU and Cascade Collegiate Conference volleyball history.

Elliott coached four conference championship teams and four NAIA regional championship teams and led the Raiders to the program's first four NAIA national tournament appearances (2001-04). During that run at the NAIA Tournament, the Raiders finished as high as ninth in 2001, 2002 and 2004. Elliott was named named conference or region coach of the year eight times and compiled nine straight 20-win seasons.

At SOU Elliott coached seven NAIA All-Americans, six academic All-Americans, five Cascade Conference MVPs, three regional MVPs and 38 conference all-stars.
