Not steeped in the history of volleyball, I would like to know if there are some top-notch Div 1 programs that consistently choose to run the 6-2, and recruit accordingly. It has been my observation that most teams will only resort to the 6-2 when they have one or two mediocre setters or some other personnel anomaly (aka Mizzou, which never ran the 6-2 until they recruited a home-grown "NAIA setter", as one poster put it).

Mick Haley will tell you that using two mediocre setters is no better than using only one. |

Florida State and Washington have been the most successful programs that have run a 6-2.
I do wonder if Washington will continue run a 6-2 this year.

I think USC is the most successful team to run a 6-2. #BackToBack I was referring to recent memory with the current amount of subs, but yes USC won back to back. I would argue that's a different era though. |

Carico was the last good setter at USC, KB was OK, then came the mediocrity but when you have amazing hitters who needs a good setter  |

Carico was the last good setter at USC, KB was OK, then came the mediocrity but when you have amazing hitters who needs a good setter No. Carico was OK. Bateman was A better setter. Bateman so smooth and consistent. Carico had a better left hand, but her "hands" were not smooth. Alice Pizzasegola couldve set to Gysin Copenhagen and Kaczor and took SC to the FF. Ok maybe being a little extreme to prove a point |

I never understood why people thought Bateman was an upgrade... No way! Carico had shady passing and wasn't a great moonball setter but she was very good. Just on the wrong team. |

Carico had shady passing and wasn't a great moonball setter but she was very good. Just on the wrong team. She was very good -- on certain days. She was just all over the place. Bateman was incredibly solid and made USC better. |
