Not sure how Robinson at libero means a bigger chance for Plummer. If they decide to take four OHs, which Karch didn’t do in Rio, I would have to think that Foecke has a leg up. My point was that if Robinson is gonna play libero, why take another libero? Sure, Robinson could play OH if they needed her to, but like you said isn't 3 OHs enough? I guess having another pin hitter wouldn't be useful in the short term but would be cool for a younger player to at least get the experience for the next quad but who am I kidding.

Also, let's stop bragging about winning the VNL maybe. If Karch was a college coach, he’d be real good at winning in August. December? No. August even feels generous. Spring matches maybe?

It’s nothing more than a training tournament to break in new talent not to mention the 1Mil grand prize. Karch wants that money. 🤑🤑🤑🤑

There are many international fans following German league. The difference of level between Poganny and JWO is very clear. It's not about nationality. Coach doesn't hesitate to put starting setter for German NT in bench, when she doesn't perform good. In retrospect, he also did the same for Pogany and JWO when the former struggled. It's not like JWO never saw the starting light with the team's A-unit. Lol. Wrong. JWO played only against weaker teams. Apperantly you haven't followed German League closely.

Lol believe what you want to believe. Apparently you still think Courtney should be the Tokyo libero. Right then and there that’s a red flag. Bye

Silver, bronze, world champs, runner-up VNL. Define “system working”? That WCh title was six years ago. Their most recent appearance at the WChs in 2018 was, arguably, the worst Team USA performance at a major event in the last two decades. That’s his resume, compare it to any other women’s NT coach and tell me it’s not success. I should add that I dont find him to be an exceptional coach, but coaches get measured by team success and he’s had very good success. They should have won gold in London, but that’s sports, ask Soviet hockey in Lake Placid.

Bye I love when someone states a fact and then their opponents’ argument is “believe what you want to believe.” That’s what someone should be saying to you, not vice versa. I mean there’s literally concrete proof that JWO didn’t start for her team against their tougher opponents.

I’m neither a Karch fan or basher, but for those of you who are bashers, his resume as coach is pretty good and that is in fact how coaches are measured.

Yeah people just shouldn’t even watch the VNL if it’s such a laughing stock. You can keep things in perspective and still celebrate the team’s success.

Who called it a laughing stock? You can enjoy the VNL as a competition, but also understand it shouldn’t be used as a measuring stick for meaningful success.
