I think in the womens game , us other liberos should do the same which they are considering, as in serving. I guess I haven't had enough coffee today. Could you translate this statement for me?

I think it's interesting that, for instance, Gentil made "headlines" on the Gopher website for breaking the school's all time dig record. I would HOPE that she would break this record. The old record was before there was the libero position. Jamie Hamm holds the record for all time digs at UOP BEFORE the libero position.

Don't like that stat because you don't know how difficult the attempts are. Same problem with total digs or digs per game. To have a truly meaningful stat you'd need to grade the difficulty and where the dig goes. And like most VB stats, it's just impossible to do without 162 people tracking it. In that sense, the FIVB stat actually makes a lot of sense: only count the digs that lead directly to a kill. Or, even better, count BOTH. The beauty of VB is that it is such a team-oriented sport--maybe more so than any other. The frustrating thing about VB is that it is such a team-oriented sport... Sure - some digs will be easier to pickup than others. But is there really a need to evaluate the difficulty of each attempt? Sounds like it'd be a lot of work. Would such a stat be worth the effort of compiling it? I think it all evens out at the end - each player who sees any meaningful amount of time playing backrow will see their fair share of easy/hard-hit digs. I see the merit in isolating a dig stat for those that lead to a kill -- it shows that you not only kept the ball in play, but you put it in a position for your team to win the point. Didn't realize that FIVB tracked digs that way.
