Coaches should show that so their teams know why they dive at everything.

Blah. The Libero messed up the play in the first place, which caused the other two players to make a miraculous save just to get the ball back over.
In an alternative (and better) reality, the libero wouldn't not have been playing defense that far into the court, would have been in a better defensive posture, and would not have made a one-arm stab at that ball coming off the block. She would have made a good defensive play on the ball coming off the block and gotten it somewhere back into the court for the setter to set somebody and hopefully get an attack on that transition play.
But, hey, that's just me.

Yeah, but who won the point? That was pretty awesome Fenerbahce won the point but Eczacibasi won the match ;D ;D Weird match for Eczacibasi... Comfortably up 2-0, they dropped the next two but managed to win 15-10 despite two consecutive yellow cards on the bench at 10-6 in 5th... Stacey Gordon with 14 points for Eczacibasi. Nicole Davis with 70/45 reception for Fenerbahce....

The attack came from the opponent's Leftside, so tip would have been covered either by the right-back player on the line tip, or by the left-front player sliding all the way over to the block to cover cross-court tip. The libero is left-back in that defensive scheme, so she would always be responsible for cross-court hard-driven attack, not tip. So...she should have been further out to the perimeter, given that they had 2 up on the block.

Just watched the clip. The libero wasn't out of position, Skynard. She was lined up to take a hard-driven ball, right off of the MB's left shoulder. Any deeper and she'd be giving up a steeper-driven shot down (which pro's can do). She was completely lined up correctly -- her MB took away the corner shot, she was right where she should have been. Not very hard to see.
Her one-arm stab was even done w/ a bit of a jump, for more extension...if she was farther back that deflection would've whizzed right past her reach. She wasn't covering a tip...she was in position to cover a bomb. Still, a great series of heads-up plays made by all.

Ain't it funny / ironic that fans are more impressed by perpetually out of position players making "spectacular digs" than they are by players making "easy digs" by predominately being in the correct position?
