Whoa, take it easy. That’s a hard accusation about a coach with a very solid resume and pedigree. Sure he’s had a new assistant coach every year since he started but he’s also developed a bunch of all Americans and at one point Kean was #1 in the country statistically in blocking. They’ve also been ranked #1 by the AVCA. You can’t know nothing about volleyball and make that happen. Whether you like him or not... he doesn’t suck at his job although I can’t say the same about his demeanor with players. However, kids are not what they used to be. His approach is very old school, hard nosed. He’s not a player’s coach. He’s tough and demanding and I don’t know that this generation of student athlete can handle that. I just hope they don’t pull a Naz and not even qualify for the tournament and have to host. That would be awkward. Being a former player from the area word travels quickly even when you are halfway across the country. From what I have heard it seems like players were taking a stand against his abusive behavior. Apparently, things in the Kean gym are much worse than the outside perceives. I am not sure how accurate this is but it seems like he will also be looking for yet another assistant as his current one walked out on him due to his antics. Could you describe the ruckus, sir? And by ruckus I mean what you consider to be abusive behavior? It’s not that I don’t believe you but it has got to be some serious stuff for them to want him fired and refuse to play. ‘Abuse’ is a word we don’t want to throw around lightly. Well... with my bad knee I shouldn’t be throwing anything around.

Before we torch, let's make sure all the facts are there. If this is true, this would be a sad story indeed.

Anyone want to shift some discussion to notable matchups this weekend? Here's some I found and my thoughts. Please destroy my predictions. Friday
Cal Lu vs Carthage — Carthage takes it in 4, loses the battle in the middle but wins on the pins. Stevenson vs So. Virginia — Not too familiar with either team, so just going to throw %*$# at the wall. Shorts hits .375 and leads to a tight win in 5. Neumann vs. Kean — Kean team is not present 5 minutes before warmups, shows up at last second. Crazy volleytalk rumors continue. Still wins in 3. You overlooked a key match for this weekend. Kean hosts #2 Stevens at 5, before their match against Neumann. That's a doozy.

From what I’ve heard and I don’t know any parties that are close to this situation, but only hearing from third parties, the assistant coaches who are still there are the ones that matter anyway. The one who is no longer there was a waste anyway which is sad that said person was there to begin with.

Thanks, Coach Liberto, probably best to worry about your own squad as you have a lot of work to do with or without Kean's antics

Was it Ginex or the assistant doing the abusing since it seems that it was the assistant that was let go?

I just want to talk about this weekend of solid matches

Here's the slate for tonight:
Cal Lu - Carthage Marantha Baptist - Concordia (Wis.) Penn St. Behrend - Elms Neumann - Kean (?) Stevens - Kean (?) Fontbonne - Marian Elms - Medaille St. John FIsher - Medaille Trine - Misericordia Elizabethtown - Misericordia Elizabethtown - Mt. Union Sage - Mt. Union Juniata - Nazareth Thiel - Nazareth NYU - Vassar Elmira - Penn St.-Behrend Trine - Randolph - Macon Sage - Randolph-Macon Nichols - Regis Stevenson - Southern Virginia Marymount - Springfield Pratt Institute - St. Elizabeth SUNY Poly - St. John Fisher Hiram - Wells Johnson St. - York
Predictions for bolded matches. I love all of them, but don't care to dive into research for all of the teams.
CLU 3 Carthage 2 (The Kingsmen avoid frostbite and pull out a close one in Kenosha) Stevens 3 Kean 0 (If this happens) Juniata 3 Nazareth 0 (The Eagles are soaring under the radar for many - be careful) NYU 3 Vassar 1 (NYU needs this one, and Vassar has lost a lot since 2018. Really wouldn't be shocked if the score flips the other way) Southern Virginia 3 Stevenson 2 (SVU has a GEM of an OH in Nahuel Recabarren - he steals the show as Landon comes up Short). Springfield 3 Marymount 0 (Was so tempted to claim a Marymount win here, but then I woke up. SC rolls)

Springfield 3 Marymount 0 (Was so tempted to claim a Marymount win here, but then I woke up. SC rolls) Agree with most of your predictions except NYU vs Vassar. It seemed like they were missing their good middle Neil for the start of the season. If he is back, it would help NYU immensely as he is a blocking and hitting machine. Vassar played Arcadia tight in a 5 setter and smoked Rutgers in 3. NYU vs Vassar will certainly be a good match!
