I'll throw out a variation of the question guest2 asked in the Summer Olympics thread. If the Olympics happen but the FIVB is not able to host very many events prior to the Olympics, how do you think USA volleyball should decide who gets to represent the US? Assume two slots for American teams per gender with USAV free to send any teams/players that they want.
And part 2, which teams/players would you want to see representing the US and why?

Watching the McKibbins' awesome production of the 4-on-4 tournament on their YouTube Channel it is pretty apparent that Trevor is the best at "talkin'"-- who would be your top three "talkers" on the men's side (cuz I'm pretty sure that all the ladies are so "sweet" they don't talk at all)?
Is there a "Trash Talk Top 5" of comments you remember from the 4 on 4?
Keep up the great work all! Also, loving the Savvy addition! I mean, you guys are great-- you've just gone next level!

"Winter is coming." Likely that bodies are worn down and motivation is not at an all time high. What are some ways the top level players retain their current skill level and maybe hone new ones during this time?
Film analysis? Working with specific coaches? Honest assessments of strengths and weaknesses? Potential partner decisions and moves especially for non olympic guys?
Orrrrrr do people just put volleyball on the back burner and reset themselves for the new year?

Loved the discussion last time of your “white rhino” guests you’d love to have on the Sandcast. Who has given the most creative excuse for not being on the show? Any others cancel at the last minute and never reschedule besides Summer Ross and Casey Jennings?

How about a "Main Draw" of all-time trash talkers? Who would be the top 4 seeds?

Set up a bracket of trash-talking statements going head to head and have the Sandcast Crew pick the winners of each round of the Main Draw? That would be BRILLIANT! Have the actual players read them thespian-ish like Jimmy Fallon's "Mean Tweets" segment!

After reflecting, do you think your actions at the Florida KOB event were selfish, particularly being in and around the other players after being disqualified for a positive covid test? Regardless of political views on the subject, its a very conceivable outcome that actions like this could be viewed as a general disregard for player safety and could lead to less/cancelling of future events, essentially compromising many players’ ability to earn a living. If you could go back, would you observe quarantine protocol for the greater good of our sport during covid times even though you personally believe that your rights as an American don’t require it?

It would be interesting to see how Travis answer this. But at the same time, %*$# happens. Get over it.

Feel free to take note that I took this stance from an apolitical standpoint but rather how his actions affect future decisionmaking by the avp. No one wants to rehash the political aspect of it for the 1,000th time.

We can’t let it slide that this says “IN and around other players”.

Why isn’t every blocker trying to mimic the technique of Anders Mol? The amount of terminal blocks he gets is insanely high compared to everyone else, right? If I recall correctly, Phil in his prime got around 6 terminal blocks per match, but Mol is around TWICE as many. After watching Mol/Sorum not make calls like other teams (including America’s finest: Line/Angle/Jump into line/jump into angle) and instead simply call “ball”, why are more teams not copying this strategy? Is Mol’s physicality that much more superior that it allows him to execute on another level, or is it a strategic decision for American teams to stick with traditional defensive blocking?
OR is the talent really hidden in our fast friend Sorum, who forces ALL attackers to hit aggressively instead of attempt shots, thus allowing Mol to rack up the high amount of terminal blocks. If Sorum weren’t so good, other teams would shoot more, taking the opportunities for Mol to stuff them into oblivion.
