They'll bring in a transfer setter somehow. There's no way the staff was completely caught off guard by this. It's just now a matter of who they can get and how well they'd fit into the system.

I understand why some kids aren't doing well in college. They're at that stage where they're still children in mind but adult in body. They want to be treated like adults but without the responsibilities. Furthermore, they may want to act like adults but they don't have the experience so they just do it all wrong. The end result is an entity that you really want to strangle to death. It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young.

What is Plan B? Pizzasegola in a 5-1? If that's plan B, USC finishes 4th at best

No way that that's plan B, that's for sure.

I think Cinnamon Sary is still attending the school. She has eligibility left. She just might be rusty as heck. Wonder how often she has touched a volleyball in the last two years?

How frustrating does it have to be for Mick to know that he has all these setters at his school (Hughes, Claes, Strange, Sary) and he can't get his hands on any of them.

Wish Mick could have nabbed Sponcil too. And she probably won't even set at LMU her last two years.

If Mick would snag Sponcil and let her play both, it would be a win-win for both USC beach and indoor.

Because none of them want to play for Mick? Mick is a demanding coach, and isn't afraid to tell any player when they aren't performing up to expectations. What's wrong with that? I would much rather see a strong coach than one who never says anything. The coach has a job, and that's to teach and to manage. If you don't like his style, you may be looking for a yes man rather than a coach. Mick is one of the most highly regarded coaches in volleyball, so take your coddled attitudes back to the bench if you're too afraid to be pushed to the best. He will do just fine this season, and every season ahead. Being a winner can be measured by more than the final score, but USC will once again be standing as a highly ranked and difficult opponent come playoff time.

Publicly tearing down players in matches and throwing them under the bus in press conferences (and which are likely just the tips of the iceberg) have little to do with being a "tough" coach. He hasn't made a Final since 2003. With the talent USC is able to attract, that's underperforming even Dunning. Until last season (following a disastrous 2014 season), his offense and defense were like flies stuck, unchanging, in amber. He's the elephant in the room...

Russ Rose has publicly criticized his players. But Russ coaches for Penn State. They do no wrong there.
