(VB) Ongoing Volleyball Thread

Wow...pretty sensitive topic apparently. There's an old saying, the truth hurts. Where have all the SEC titles gone lately? Why do players like Beason and Kelly leave when they were going to be key to our program AND end up st better places. Coach Wise is a great coach however the league is catching up quickly and some teams are already driving past us. Our system is vanilla and with not using the OH position like we did when Thayer and Carli were here, the last true OH players we had, we will have a difficult time recruiting more. Those players are the key to success. RS players like Kennedy take you over the top but can't be your bread and butter unless you have girls passing nails to the setter. I'm merely pointing out the truth here, not one to think everything is peachy when there are glaring issues. I also think an injection of the men's schemes are needed. Sometimes you have to be creative and what I see is changing players to merely do something different but the result really isn't going to change. I thought coach was going to do something I mentioned weeks ago, rothe at OH. That would be creative. If we have 2 capable middles AND we are not letting Hardin within 10 feet of serve receive than why not see what Rothe can do in that situation? That lasted like 3 serves then went right back to what we were doing. We will lots of games with the players and system we run, I just think we won't be competing for final 4 type matches because the burden of one player carrying this much load can be stopped by quality teams and as we have seen, when an OH in this format struggles there isn't anything that can be done because we haven't been focused on an all around skill set outside like Hall was.

 

Not true. When Mary retires, you folks can apply for the job. In the meantime, all negative all the time is a sign of poor communication skills which is likely why these guys are out of coaching.
