I'm also sure I saw Marv Dunphy at an Elephant Bar finals day, which would clearly be against the rules as Pepperdine was not playing. Maybe he felt discriminated against since all the teams were MPSF and could thoroughly scout each other. Or maybe it's just that volleyball coaches like to watch volleyball? I know I like to check out airplanes that other companies have built, not because I'm "scouting" them but because aero engineers love airplanes. Adulterer!!

I don't think the no-scouting rule applies to Men's College VB. I have seen Ken Preston (and many other MPSF coaches) watching UCLA matches at Pauley Pavilion. One time, as I was headed out after the match, saw Preston walking into the garage with the match's referee, Rick Olmsted. Guess they car-pooled from Santa Barbara. The rules on coaches scouting only applies to basketball, football, and women's volleyball. However, even if it is allowed, the coach can't claim expenses such as travel/lodging.

To go back to the OP, I don't think there are rules regarding scouting internationally.
I know that teams at the Olympics have technical assistants (or other titles) whose job it is to scout other teams at the event and work with their team during training sessions at the event. These assistants do not sit on the bench and might not be involved in the headset communication either (don't know about that part).
Not sure why the coach in question did not want to be on camera. Witness protection plan? Cheating on his wife?

Does anyone have the charts the teams were using on the bench? I assume they were fairly straight forward shot charts, etc but it would still be interesting to see what they were using. I also saw the guys were using a new chart and heard a brief explanation. Anyone have that chart or a better explanation of what they were trying to accomplish?
Thanks!!

I gave our calendar to one of my Airbus colleagues, and I think she has it on her desk. When I was a kid dreaming of flight I would think of rockets reaching out into space or combat planes bringing death from above. I assembled/painted models of F-14s, F-16s, and even classics like a B-17. I assembled an aircraft carrier with a deck full of of tiny little combat planes the size of ants. I found it cool that my model of the USS Arizona included a plane mounted on one of the 16" gun turrets. And when I strayed, at least I was playing with a model of a Concorde which looked like it should be a combat plane (kind of like an XB-70 Valkyrie). Lusting after passenger planes. Now that's just sad.

Now that's just sad. Well, some guys lust after, um, Rubenesque women (in aircraft parlance, "heavies," "wide bodies," and "jumbo's"), and some prefer the finicky, hot supermodel type (F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning). To each his own!

To each his own! There's got to be a joke about missiles and rockets in a similar vein. Seriously though, some of my first job offers were with aerospace companies. My first industry job offer was with Raytheon, although I don't know if I could have taken a winter in the suburbs of Boston. I would have been working on air traffic control displays, although the other division that also offered me was more on the missile and weapons guidance side. Another offer was with Lockheed Missiles & Space working on what was then known as the Lockheed Launch Vehicle (now Athena). OTOH, I could see sharing (unclassified) photos with people from competitors if I ever took those jobs.

American caches are talking to somebody on those headsets; doubt it's to each other on the bench. Can anybody explain to me why the coaches were wearing headsets? Dont get it?
