Please feel free to add your own. Nothing too personal, please.
1. What do you see in Megan Courtney no one else sees? 2. Why don’t we set the middle more? 3. Why can’t we pick up tips? 4. Where the hell is Ogbogu? 5. Is Kelsey Robinson demanding to be an OH? 6. Was Morgan Hentz invited to train this summer? If no, why not? 7. Why don’t you allow jump serves? 8. Where do you keep your medals? 9. What happened to Luka’s foot? 10. How much did you get when you sold your house? Where do you live now? 11. Why do you say “bro” on broadcasts? 12. Do your kids play volleyball? 13. Do you regret putting Courtney Thompson on the 2016 roster?

2. USA playbook believes in-system sets to the pins create better 1-on-1 opportunities to score 3. GM2 5. Yes but demand is not the right word.. "prefers" would be more applicable 7. Stats "prove" jump floats serves to more reliably get teams out of system I didn’t ask you. I asked Karch 😉

Also, along with most others, Karch doesn't believe that women can serve top spin jumpers effectively. He's right.

I only follow post college volleyball sporadically- like when they actually put a match on TV- and don't follow national team threads at all assiduously, so I've probably missed a lot of discussion, but what is the idea with OHs as libero? When I've watched (once again, a very small sample) it's been mostly Courtney who, while no doubt a nice girl, doesn't seem to either anticipate or move her feet particularly well, and doesn't pass or dig with unusual accuracy. Any number of liberos have done these things better in college- do international liberos need to be taller for some reason? Do full time liberos get paid so poorly that they give up the game? Do great college players get overwhelmed by the speed and power of the international game, and why would it be any different for someone less experienced in the position? Inquiring minds want to know.

She had one or two bad games and he took it away. Likely because she was only being used in a double sub scenario and it was tough to get in a rhythm. But you could ask Paola Egonu if women can’t jump serve well....

Inquiring minds want to know. She has out received the other libero candidates in the USA gym. If someone who played libero in college outperforms her in this critical skill then that player will take the position. So far no one has done that despite many nominations from fans of various college programs.

This certainly includes Italy, Serbia, and a couple of others. The basic point scoring stats do not lie.
