To make things simple, in a true 6-2, the Setter will never be in the front row. There will be 3 attackers in the front row at all times. One Setter would come in for the Opposite, when the Opposite moves to the backrow. The other Setter would come in for an Outside Hitter, when that Outside Hitter moves to the back row. I do not believe Robyn will run a true 6-2 cause it will take away Iosia's attacking ability. But I can see Robyn the same kind of 6-2 that she ran last year, if she does indeed decide to run a 6-2.

In that video, I think Kaleo Baxter should stop being so shy. Angelica had to practically pull him into the discussion. Dude, this isn't first day of kindergarten.

I’m pretty sure a true 6-2 is when the settlers are both all around players that can set and hit. That way there are no subs required.

What you're describing is not a true 6-2. A true 6-2 has 6 attackers, two of whom are setters. The "2" are setter/attackers in opposite rotations who set when they are in the back row and attack when they are in the front row. This is a fundamental misunderstanding about a true 6-2 (Cuba is the only team who has successfully run a true 6-2, back in the 90's). It's not about having two great setters, but having six good attackers, two of whom can set.

So, Angelica Ljungqvist is in town. Well...the first summer camp for Wahine Volleyball starts in 5 days so I think the coaches will be busy with camps, preparation for practices for the coming season and pre-season conditioning programs. In the past, most of the students athletes for the fall sports are here for the second summer sessions and second summer sessions start on July 1st so its not that long before the players need to report.

All of this lively discussion and wahinefan getting educated because I used the term "true 6-2." I could have just said 6-2 with subs but then this particular portion of the thread wouldn't be as fun. Robyn will have to figure out how to best utilize her two talented setters. And she will.

I basically agree with this. I highly doubt Bailey Choy will redshirt. Choy adds options, and Robyn has shown a willingness to experiment with her options, sometimes with great success.

No way Choy rides the bench.
She’s way too good. Robyn is going to have so many options next year, more than we have had in quite some time. Cal poly will be tough but less talented (no offense to those teams) Hawaii teams have beaten more talented poly teams and took them too 5.

I think Robyn is showing players can buy into her coaching style. I was worried her strict demeanor and coaching style wouldn’t work, but it looks like that is has. But I’m sure Angelica is a nice balance with Robyn’s coaching style

I’m not so sure playing for a “strict” coach is a problem for elite athletes. I think it’s more of a problem if the coach is an a-hole. John Cook at UNL is a strict coach. Mick Haley was a strict coach. Even Dave Shoji was a strict coach in his early days. Players still want to play for them.

I think it's an issue of the Coach find the right balance among individuals, and with the team.

In college basketball you get big time players flocking to schools like Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, West Virginia, etc....all have “strict” coaches.
In college football, Nick Saban of Alabama ain’t no angel.
Strict but fair is what players looking for. Many understand the need to be pushed to reach a higher level. Those who refused or object to be pushed will not reach their full potential.
