Oh. His/her two posts were so outlandish and nonsensical that I disregarded them.

you asked for names, right ? those 2 are better than Kiraly, period. Head coach of an Olympic team is different than head coach of a top-level DI team. The coaching itself will be largely similar, but the other differences would take some adjustments. But I don't think it's a large enough difference to really impact one's coaching ability (see: Haley, Mick and McCutcheon, Hugh). But it would be interesting to debate whether Mick was better as the NT coach or Texas/USC coach. Same with Hugh and Minnesota (but a little early for that). I don't know if Karch has any interest in coaching college following 2020, but it would be interesting to see. Shortly after the 2020 Olympics, Karch will turn 60 years old. That is kind of old to be starting a college coaching career.

What's funny is Hooker dug more balls than any non-libero in that match - for either team, plus she had taken 76 freaking swings that night (hitting .310). But clearly, she let everyone down then....... seriously, how anyone didn't see Hooker as the best player on the court that day is beyond reasoning. one bad play negates 34 kills in a match. some posters are just phenomenally dumb

There are a handful of things that keep popping up in all these Karch Hooker/Tom/Hugh threads that really bother me and I know I'm a fool for responding but once more into the fray. First of all Hugh did a brilliant job in the last quad. They were number 1 in the world had an undefeated run in the pressure cooker of the Olympics were up on Brazil and then the wheels came off. People that's not bad coaching that's not bad decisions that's just bad luck. Stuff just happens sometimes. Second. Nobody disputes that Hooker is an amazing player- no one disputes that Tom was amazing- how good she is now I don't know. Now about Karch and Hooker. He made a careful well thought out decision. He knows his team his opponents his locker room better than any of us. The decision to cut Hooker was not some kind of ill thought out whim. The anecdotal evidence since the decision has been very positive. I support this intelligent committed passionate brilliant coach. I am proud of Karch and our team. You can question the decision but not his character. I've known him 40 years

That is poor logic, basing the judgement of a decision like that on the outcome of likely one match. There are many of things that factor in to winning a big tournament like this, and while there is no hope without the necessary talent I think we can all afree that the USA is not short on talent. If we lose and both opposites who make the squad play poorly you may have an argument, but there will probably be many other things to point to as well if the USA are to lose.

(Just a point of reference for you.) It was an amazing conversation: Me: Mr. Kiraly! Him: [stops and looks at me, may have said, "Yes?"] Me: Congratulations on winning the World Championship! Him: Thanks.

Shortly after the 2020 Olympics, Karch will turn 60 years old. That is kind of old to be starting a college coaching career. There is a major difference between Karch and someone like jbhuntin. Just one?

At least pretend to debate the topic honestly. What are you talking about, you folks are the only people playing games. Let's be real, every person knows that if the other olympic teams not named the United states could choose only one current pro player to play on their olympic team from the U.S it would be a healthy in shape, recoverd from pregnancy Destinee Hooker. But some of you don't want to admit it because you would basically be saying that Karch Kiraly got it wrong. Brazil, Russia, Korea, Puerto Rico, Cuba, etc would all choose Destinee Hooker to play on their olympic team if they could pick only one current pro player from the U.S to play for their olympic team and everyone on this board knows it. And if any national team was looking at hiring a new head coach for the next quad, Kiraly would be at the top of the list. If he wasn't already locked up for another 4 years with the US.

The amount of traffic on a message board is not a reliable way of measuring who is "most famous". Is Hawaii the "most famous" college? Or do they just have a lot of fans who like to post on this board? There seem to be a few dedicated Hooker fans who, every month or so, keep a big "Why isn't Destinee on the USA national team?" discussion going. What are you talking about? NJIT has about 50 % more posts than the Florida thread and as many views, so I, like many, would say the Gators program is as popular and well-known as the NJIT Scarlet Knights, I mean fightin Chris Christies, uh sorry..Highlanders.
