If they know what's good for them, the next NT coach should be Bryn Kehoe or someone else from Stanford. I knew it! O&A=tenniscraze=mango! I can neither confirm nor deny these heinous allegations.

I will say this, the hiring of Hugh and Karch has really created a buzz and an enthusiasm that has been missing. Hugh in particular has done an amazing job communicating with current players as well as newcomers. There is going to be a great group in Anaheim in June, veterans and rookies alike. And I for one am looking forward to seeing whats up without having to go a thousand miles or so to watch. It will be verrrrry interesting in June to see who goes to Miami for the Pan Am Cup. ;D

I know Karch a little (not trying to name drop). While it's true that not all great players make great coaches, Karch has the perfect temperment, work ethic, and analytic mind to be a great coach. He has always been extremely methodical in his preparation, has always been an astute observer of the sport, and has great interpersonal skills.
He will make a great coach.

I can see the argument that "hey, this guy played for long time, lets make him the assistant on the national team" would generally not go over real well, but I think this is a unique case.
I tend to think that having the greatest player ever in the gym with them should cut a lot of griping about drills being too hard, or the staff asking too much. They can't even think "I'd like to see you do this" because whatever it is, he did it .

Sand volleyball or "Beach", as we call it her in Ca, will only better players. Kids have to be involved in every play. Reading the block, finding the open court, moving their feet, changing the outcome of a game and hitting the ground become second nature to girls that put time into the game. Sand also offers great physical training with less inury. I can only see progression in the sport. True volleyball fans KNOW and appreciate the value of both the indoor 6 man game and "Beach'. I also believe it will lead to less burnout and will help motivate players. It means volleyball does not have to end for most girls when they finish, it will add to the competition on the tour. Only good things!!!
