Roy I agree. I think all of these points we've hit on will be issues when votes are placed. I believe the coaches do the voting though, and if this is so then I think Moreno has the advantage. In almost every article I have read on BYU, the opposing coach talks about Moreno and his ability to distribute the ball and their blocker's inability to read where he will put the ball. If the coach thinks what effect removing a player from the lineup would have on the team, it would give him a fairly accurate measure of how valuable a player is. If this is the case I think Moreno and Touzinsky will be the top 2 vote-getters. If Pessoa is having an off-night, he has 4 others to step up and help him out. If Moreno is off, the whole team reflects that--to his credit this just isn't happening a lot this season. Touzinsky is the same way. He has a good team, but if he isn't playing well, his team struggles. (LBSU's 2nd loss to BYU being the exception-40+ kills). This makes him very valuable. Is this a fair analysis? Definately a fair analysis. I like the way you put the POY mentality. How important a player is to the team's success is definately a great factor in the decision making process. And I completely agree with you that the points that we touched on will be discussed when deciding the POY. Again, if the voting were to happen right now, Moreno would get my vote.
