granted a timeout at 0-2 is odd, but you should take timeouts when you feel like you need them , not based on score. In a match to win it all, if you saw something out of whack right off the bat, you want to get a hnadle on it. It comes across as panic I know, I think it was a strange timeout, but I don't think it was panic. You'd defend John Cook to the death, wouldn't you?

Mary Wise with a few. Recently, starting Angie over Lauren in the 04 season. Moving Kisya to OH this past season.

Who else would have taken over the other outside hitter spot? Janine Williams was injured and Stefanie Douglas was fighting injuries... who else would have joined Marcie Hampton on the left?

Hard to say the Kisya move was dumb considering how well the other two middles played, the fact that Klinkenborg was out and there was no other option for the outside position. I think Kisya was the best of the options...it just stunk that she wasn't able to continue her All-American ways in the middle. Now Angie over Lauren is a whole other story....that was a tough one. Angie may have been the best pure setter, but Lauren just had so much more fire on the court and had just led her team minus Benavia to the finals.

The Brazilian woman's coach in the Athens Olympics..... he asks for a sub.... when he really wants to do the double sub. The Ref only allows the first player on the court..... Brazil is forced to play with no setter on the court. The funny thing is.... he did the same thing with his Italian club team a few weeks ago! Let's talk about the really dumb things Ze' Roberto continues to do: 1. With 5 match points in hand lets his setter set his best player (Virna) only once (while Mari, his 19 y.o. rookie, makes 3 o.b. hitting errors) and loses the 2004 Olympic semi-final to Russia when they should have walked away with the gold. 2. After crushing Russia 25-15 in the first set of the finals of the ultimate WCH he takes his good ball handling OH (Sassa') off the court in favor of the taller (did I mention error-prone?) Mari. Brazil loses in 5 again. Now he has Mari on his team in Italy... She must have incriminating photos...

Jim Craig is a legend! I remember coaching against him in club and being in fear cause Jim Craig could play a mean tetris! And he could use a time out! Honestly, I loved Jim Craig, and I am sad to hear he isn't coaching club this year. Munciana is a class club with good people.

Having your server jump serve on match point of the state championship match when he had previously served six straight floaters for aces. The kid jump serves it into the net and the team never sided out and lost the state championship match.

I wouldn't defend Cook to the death, but many would criticize him to the death, that is for sure. Just don't see how you could criticize too many of the decisions he or Dunning or Rose, Mclaughlin etc.. have made.

The ones that come to mind for me: 1) 2006 - Russ Rose sacrificing ball control for height and power. He let Megan Hodge massacre serve receive, and subbed in a bunch of anonymous DS in for his other two non-passing OHs. He had a player in Kate Price that could hit and pass in 6 rotations, but he generally kept her out of the front row. The irony lies in how Penn State lacked the ball control that would allow them to set their tall powerful MBs and OPP. Not sure trying to develop a freshman's all around game, who has POY potential, is a stupid move. PSU still won the Big Ten. Maybe Coach Rose's "stupid move" will prove more valuable in the future. Especially if Hodge becomes a force in the backrow, and Penn State is able to add another Final Four or two to the old resume!

On the men's side of the game I have seen some dumb moves by coaches like running out of subs with a serving sub in the game for their best middle.

Ill-timed time-outs: 1. John Cook in the 2005 Final. Down 0-2 in the first game! 2. Coaches who call time-outs when their own team is serving, thus "icing" his/her own players. Lots of examples. 3. Chris Webber calling a time-out when his team had none, in the 1993 NCAA Basketball Championship between Michigan and North Carolina. Okay, so it's basketball. And, it wasn't a coaching move. So what? What are you going to do about it...punk. Al Scates is known for calling timeouts like that, and he has a billion titles. People not over the Webber timeout? Geez. Get over it.
