It was striking to watch throughout the tournament how the other team coaches would be yelling at their teams and telling them to do something different or how to do something and the conversation was all basically one-way. Karch throughout would calmly address the team for a couple of words and then say "What do we do now?" or something like that, and one of the players would calmly state a sequence of things. The video excerpts were not long enough (nor have I repeatedly watched them on replay) to really know what was being said, but that was my take on what was occurring. Can someone who knows something please explain to someone who doesn't know much what is going on here? On the surface it seems like a fantastic way to get a bunch of people with sharp volleyball minds (must be, since they are there) to come up with a plan of action and see if someone is seeing something not obvious from the sidelines. It also seems like a great way to develop future coaches.

It also seems like a great way to develop future coaches. I think it's a great way for them to keep their focus. I still think in-match tactical adjustments are over-rated. You either execute or you're executed.

I found Karch's sideline personality to be refreshing. Very "steady Eddy" so to speak. No real highs or lows. ALWAYS interacted some way even if with just a high five with players and they came in and out of matches and kept things light for the most part. I'm seeing Kayla Banwarth playing loose and loving what she's doing. I'm seeing a part of her personality that I NEVER saw at Nebraska for what ever reason. She's having fun and playing her best volleyball of her career. Karch and his staff have taken Kayla to another level(I'm sure there are others responsible as well).

C'mon man, just say what you mean.

Are you referring to Hooker? I have no idea who he meant as Hooker will not be in Rio. We aren't talking about Rio, we are talking about the WGP and teams missing their best spikers. Is this official...? Hooker will never be on the national team while Karch is in charge?

Maybe it was team chemistry, maybe it was coaching dynamics, maybe she's just grown and matured a ton as a player and can now relax and enjoy the game a lot more. There are lots of explanations that only Kayla could address.

Kayla improved by leaps and bounds at Nebraska. And she'd be the first one to tell you that.

I'm interested to see how Karch's loose and easy style translates to the Olympics where is will be virtually impossible to not be stressed by 12,000 Brazilians screaming at us.
Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth...

Correct me if I'm wrong, while Karch seems calm as a coach, isn't he a pretty easily angered guy? I remember someone saying he threw temper tantrums like no other.

No. An intense, almost vicious competitor who would lose his s%^t from time to time? Sure. But player Karch and coach Karch are very different animals.

Maybe it was team chemistry, maybe it was coaching dynamics, maybe she's just grown and matured a ton as a player and can now relax and enjoy the game a lot more. There are lots of explanations that only Kayla could address. Below is an excerpt from a Q & A with Banwarth that ran in today's Omaha World Herald: Q: What did it mean to you to be able to play representing Team USA back in Nebraska? A: It’s so special to be here. Like I said last night, I left a piece of my heart here when I left college. This building and these fans and this community is really special to me. To have my family be able to come and watch, it means the world. I was looking forward to this a lot. I found out about (the Grand Prix Finals being in Omaha) a year ago, and I’ve just been counting the days. While I’m here, I’ve just been trying to embrace it and enjoy every second. It’s been everything I’d hoped it would be. Q: You played in the 2008 final four at the CenturyLink Center, where Nebraska lost in five sets to national champion Penn State. What do you remember about that match? A: I remember 17,430 fans, I think. A sea of red, just insane. The atmosphere and the support. I remember the love that team had for each other. One of the most special seasons of my life so far. It sounds to me like she enjoyed her college days. She also had a long and happy conversation with Cook in the arena after the match on Saturday.

Thanks for posting this. I didn't see the interview. Glad to see she has fond memories.

You're thinly veiled insinuation that Kayla didn't enjoy her time or didn't have fun at Nebraska is ridiculous. And being that she's five years removed from her collegiate playing days, I would hope that her volleyball skill are at another level.

She's always been steadfast in describing her time at Nebraska as an amazing experience. She absolutely loved her time in Lincoln.
