And there's your good news Wow! Rubin was robbed! jk. This is amazing recognition for those honored. And, we all know that Rubin was a very close second for FOY. But, imagine the uproar a sweep would have caused! 4 out of 5 is fantastic. As for Colyer, she has a great shot at National FOY. I hope she gets it.

But, imagine the uproar a sweep would have caused! Hey, I'll mention that I think Kevin Hambly's award is also well deserved. Various people here say unfavorable things about him on occasion. But, he sure seems like a solid coach to me. He seems to truly trust his players. I like that a lot. I happened to watch the recent mic'd up episode on YouTube yesterday (and also dug out the similar one from a few years back). And, the most striking take-away for me is that if I were a member of the team I would *love* having him as a coach. He is obviously a volleyball nerd (of course), but also he clearly respects the players and seems to connect at a human level with humility that seems very disarming to me; he and the team can each laugh with and at each other in an open way that is completely not old school. I am repeatedly critical of his teams' slow starts against weaker opponents. But, in the end, it is the 'W' that matters and not score differential nor the total demoralization of the team on the other side of the net. Still, along with the nice guy thing, he can clearly get riled and assertively challenge the team to get it together when they aren't performing. Anyway, I'm a fan and I'm happy for him.

Coach Hambly is indeed a world class leader, immensly humble, understands the core of modern volleyball. Transforming his team from their last year version to this year's version must have been a monumental task. From my perspective, while there have been several strong developments on the team, the most impressive improvement has been with the setter who last year had one main play and a couple of other tentative ones to this year where she can confidently execute 6 - 8 plays.

That was your takeaway from that video. lol. That was like 4 seconds of coaching, and the rest was Yes! Good play.

Well, this did not age well. And THIS is what my source and I were trying to change here: unsubstantiated gobbledygook and horsecrap being spread by "legends" and experts, who are neither. My guy in the SID...who is completely livid, and absolutely furious, as to the dissing I (and by extension he) have received here...is shutting it down. All the information we put out, to steer you omniscients back on course, proved out to be dead spot-on. Your insistence upon relying on your in-group...like the quoted posts above...are destined for failure. Calling out my changing of screennames evinces just how petty this group can be: starting at the top. I have a real name. You have yours. And I would add that having a VT handle such as the originating poster's would need a change? Those in glass houses, y'know? Total comedy!

No power over me at all! It's actually a reply to longtime disrespecting from a few here who have been dubbed the country clubbers by decades of SU SAs and those working in the AD (ex-SID intern here). When those who feel they are entitled to info that they are not qualified for...which is private and confidential until the SA, staff or Athletic Department announces it...but, they seemingly feel entitled to get in on everything? Well, being a grad, or a ticketholder and/or a fan does not get them in that "door"!
