Hooker maybe polarizing on volleytalk but when it comes to actual play for professional teams she is a great teammate, a fan-favorite and talented. Any discussions about events that happened in 2013 are no longer relevant to who she is today except here on volleytalk and maybe in Karch's mind. Quite interesting. I have heard the very opposite that she was an absolute terrible teammate which is why none of her teammates on any team has stood up for her. Being a fan favorite doesn’t matter if you are a terrible person to coach and play with. I don’t think race as anything to do with it like shhhhh said. It has more to do about being %*$#ty.

Some coaches badly overestimate their people-management skills (to be fair, many people in general overestimate those skills.)

Stupidity has no cure it seems, exhibit A: your post. People on here are now talking about Hooker again, hello, seems like some people still have trouble with reading comprehension... You think Zhu can score all those points without a good setter there? And a good libero? You really don't have a clue what you are talking about. People only focued on Zhu, they don't seem to realize she can only score so many points because the team was there to support her... People will be stupid, stubborn and fail to see reason, thanks duncaroo for your many posts of stupidity. VT won't be half as fun without you. Really cute. Resorting directly to name-calling (when I wasn't even directly responding to you) because, again, you are unable to make a logical argument. Let's try using analytical thinking with you again. We'll call it a fun social experiment. 1) If you're going to talk about the Hooker part of my post, don't leave it off from your quote. 2) You said "never-ending" regarding the Destinee worship. It ended. For about 6 months before this thread. If you have such an issue with it, ignore it. 3) The argument here is that LP built a system around Zhu... your comments about a good setter and a good libero directly support this. However, I'm sorry, after proving she is the most dominant player in the game (see: Rio Gold, see: Vakifbank success), I honestly don't know how you could make even a semi-compelling argument that China would have won Gold without her in Rio. A good setter and good libero (thanks for literally just citing the fundamentals of volleyball as the warrant to your claim here) might have helped her hitting percentage by .100 AT MOST, but homegirl hit almost .500 throughout the final 3 rounds because of her skill, talent and athleticism. Point to one piece of evidence that proves otherwise. You can't. Hey, I am not the one making dumb posts on here, pot calling the kettle black. Let's illustrate your problems, shall we? 1. Hooker worshipping never ended. It started again. Hello, can't you read? It's back, darling. I need to remind everyone of it's...drawbacks. 2. The system was not "built around Zhu", the system was built for China to win as a team. The setter at Rio, Wei Qiuyue, was there on the NT way before Zhu was on the team. As was Captain Hui Ruoqi. Zhu fit the team, not the other way around. Have you ever played volleyball, honestly? Where is your proof that a good setter or libero can only helped her by .100? Nothing but unsubstantiated speculation. How could she hit well if the ball is not set properly? Or if the team had terrible reception? Zhu was in the World Championship in 2014, yet China lost anyway? How come? If she was all that matters, why not just randomly assembled a bunch of generic setters, liberos, middle blockers, etc, who cares about selecting the right players? So you see, you are making nonsensical remarks. Some people suffer fools gladly, but I don't, especially those who think they look smart doing it but are in fact NOT.

The iron gets hot whenever anyone brings up Destinee Hooker. So strange. Gosh, I wonder why... Qwhite interesting indeed. Racist remark, I think it's time I ask the mod to ban you? You like to throw the racist tag don't you? Like how you brought up purely unsubstantiated and unsupported claims implying Karch is racist for not bringing Hooker back. Interesting indeed, don't you think? Oops, did I hurt your ego there? You don't seem to realize my favorite all-time NT is the Cuban team, composed of all Black people.

I keep trying to say this is a Lowe thread, not a low thread. Can't you all make a Hooker thread for all the nonsense and stupidity? You all will surely provide us with many laughs just watching the argument about how racist the thread title might be! Some people just can't let it go. All I can tell them is:

That should destroy whatever credibility remains with them, but apparently those cult members won't see reason. Maybe banning them is in order? Posters need to think twice before being so casual in accusing others of racist on this forum...

Not only can you can't make a good argument, you are also pedantic. Anal retentiveness ain't a good attribute to have. Also, reading comprehension. That seems to be your other issue. Have you ever had difficulties understanding? I suggest you see a doctor. You clearly have a problem.

So is there a reason why no one will tell me who Charizard is?

My only question: If Lowe is Charizard, what does that make Boskovic?

My only question: If Lowe is Charizard, what does that make Boskovic? She’s the Charizard of the lefty opposites in the gym. That’s what I said. Drews = Charmander Murphy = Charmeleon Lowe = Charizard Abercrombie: Oddish? DeHoog: Metapod?
