Do we think we're seeing everything that USA is going to show at the Olympics in terms of offense, or just some of what the team is going to show? Will Hugh and team pull out any unexpected wrinkles that perhaps they have been working on in the training gym, or have we seen everything?
Interesting concept to ponder. The reason I ask is because you can do a lot with Hooker and Foluke, but it seems as though were are seeing a very straighforward approach, which is very Hugh..
What do you think?

We've never been a team that runs anything too complicated. I think that you're seeing everything that they plan on doing. Akinradewo will run her 1s and 31s, Bown/Harmotto will run the slide, outsides will run the tempo ball to the left, Destinee will hit her tempo ball to the right, the D, and the bic in serve receive.
The only think I've seen that deviates from the above is, occasionally, the middle will run the back-1 on a free ball. Other than that, I don't think you'll see anything different. Honestly, we don't need to do anything different. Destinee and our middles are insanely effective. Perhaps a couple more play sets would free things up for Logan and Jordan more, but I say lets just leave them to do what they do best: pass and play defense.

It would be nice to see Tom come in for the occasional 32 or any x play for when she on the right in serve receive. Eventually with Hooker and the middles getting all the attention, Tom will be able to go up and boom the middle of the court easier than she has in the past. Hopefully...
