Robert "Bob" Lewis Samuelson (born July 30, 1966, in Port Jefferson, New York)[1] is an American former volleyball player. Samuelson won a bronze medal with the United States national team in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.[2][3]
At the Barcelona Olympics, Samuelson was the central character in the controversial preliminary round match against Japan in which the United States won until the result was overturned on appeal.[4] A jury set up by the International Volleyball Federation ruled that by Samuelson having received his second yellow card, a red card and an automatic point to Japan should have been given, thus giving Japan the point they needed to win the match.[4] The entire United States men's team then shaved their heads in solidarity with Samuelson.[4]
College
Samuelson played college volleyball at Cal State Northridge (CSUN), where he was a two-time All-American.[5] He set the school record with 44 kills in a match against George Mason in 1989.[6]
Samuelson was inducted into the CSUN Hall of Fame in 1994.[5]
Japanese V.League
Samuelson left the national team to compete for the Suntory Sunbirds of the Japanese V.League in 1994, where he played for three seasons.[1][2] Samuelson led the team to the championship in his first season, and was named the league's Most Valuable Player.[1][2]

Samuelson briefly played beach volleyball in 1994, and then again between 2004 and 2006.[7]

Samuelson is a father of triplet boys.[7]
