Don't tell me I can't block a serve anymore. Libero? Never heard of her.

Reminds me of playing volleyball with really tall people who have never played volleyball before.

Back in MY day we had to serve from a little BOX in the back right corner. And we liked it!
GET OFF MY LAWN!

I don't think you know what passing is...
Damn Huskers really suck at blocking serve

Oh! I see your points. I forgot that the point ends after the serve receive.

They are differentiating between passing serves and digging attacks. You are talking about digging and defense, not passing. I understood what you meant, but I gather it was the first touch on opponents serve that Cook wasn't happy with, so block won't help much obviously. |

A great dig of a laser shot to the back row that ends in a perfect pass to the setter is one of the plays that will get me to jump out of my seat.
On the other hand, when I see great hitters like Logan Eggleston able to hit over the top of the block giving her sideline to sideline as open court I think, how is the back row supposed to defend that.
I think that Nebraska needs a lot of work on passing, my only point was that they could get more help from the blockers mid-point.

You used the wrong word so we poked fun. It's ok. |

The passing game could be helped by better blocking up front. I don't think you know what passing is... Stupid traditional volleyball terminology is stupid.
When a free ball comes over, and a backrow player makes contact with it using their forearms to send it to the setter, they call that "a defense".
Likewise, teammates would say "that was a great defense you had on that play!" 🙄🙄

Apparently my mistake was that if the ball crosses net after a serve and the back row player contacts the ball sending a settable ball to the setter in position, that is a pass. But if the ball crosses net any other time and the back row player contacts the ball sending a settable ball to the setter in position, that is a dig or defense. To me, they will always be a reception and pass or a dig and pass, I will just avoid using this terminology in the future to avoid confusion/ridicule. |

Right.
My point was, no one ever says "ooo, that was a good defense you did just then". You say "ooo, that was a nice pass!", regardless if it was on a serve or a hit.
Just silly.

It is a free ball. If you say "ooo nice free ball" then your standards are too low. And Cook wants better passing. If he wanted better location on digs he'd say "I'd like to see us digging to target" or "we need more in system swings in transition". That is why we have terminology. So players, fans, media know what he means. If you confuse passing and digging the meaning gets lost too. So no, the terminology isn't stupid. |

Now you're trying to use very specific, technical terminology that is specific to (high level) strategies of the game. Of course such terminology is justified.
I don't even necessarily care that there are two separate, general terms to refer to receiving a serve and playing the opponent's attack.
I'm saying it's silly to call one of those "passing" and the other something else, and get all uppity and snooty when someone makes the sin of using the term "passing" for the other one.
Just stupid silly, and I hope somehow it changes.
