If any coach carries his/her team to a decent showing, that coach will win COY over Shoji. Period.

Congrads to our Wahine's wow both our MB's and OH's were on the first team....COOLNESS!!!!
Our middles should be very dominant next season....I think next season blocking will be our strength besides our offense and passing should be better...

I agree with you about Choi however. Borden was not NMSU's player of the year candidate. For all her hitting capabilities, she did not play back row. I'm sorry but in my eyes, in order for an outside hitter to garner player of the year consideration she has to at least play all the way around and Borden doesn't. Choi was NMSU's leading candidate to challenge Kamana'o and the statistics leaned Kanoe's way. Borden plays all the way around. She is #4 on her team in digs per game, tops in kills per game, second in aces (Choi is #1), and is also a primary passer. She isn't the Houston kind of player where you notice her getting kill after kill. But from what I have seen, she is the "work horse" of the team and really gets the team out of trouble when then passing breaks down. As far as Choi, the stats did work against her. She might have been the leading candidate but she wasn't going to beat out Kamanao. I believe WAC honors are based only on WAC statistics and that gives Hawaii the best hitting percent. Actually I was under the impression that Borden did not play all the way around, at least on a regular basis. When they came down to play Hawaii at the SSC, she was pulled from the back row after serving. Her dig average of 1.74 per game suggests that she did play back row occasionally but not all the time. If she were in the game all six rotations on a regular basis, that number would be much higher. |

If she were in the game all six rotations on a regular basis, that number would be much higher. I'll rewatch the match when I get home, but I don't remember Borden getting yanked anytime during the match. Allen was put in and out of the match, but I don't remember Borden getting subbed out. As for the stats, with the exception of Torres, no one has huge digging stats. Choi is only averaging 1.86 digs per game and Borden is only averaging 1.76. Choi has pretty much been a constant for NMSU, so it could be the team is funneling balls to Torres so everyone’s digging stats are really low. |

Wow. Congratulations to Hawaii. No suprise!
About Borden playing backrow, she is only in there after she serves. Once the other team side-outs, Borden is replaced by the DS. Her DPG average could be attributed her limited backrow play AND when opposing teams serve/hit balls her way in the front-left position.
You could also contribute Hawaii's win over NMSU due to the fact that Hawaii kept pressuring Borden with tough serves to take her out of system and keep her offensive game limited. She isn't the best defender so I understand why Jordan subs her out from the backrow.
