someone whisper into Haley's ear she can set Grace more and not send all of the junk to Caitlyn Grace will be the one playing 6 rotations next year. Otec will not be in the bro jersey. You heard it here first. You take ALL of this back right now! Well, except Hrace playing 6-rotations. She can do that with Newton 😁 |

Marquette dropped its schedule. Unsurprisingly, Wisconsin is on it. It's a road match for the Badgers on September 12th. Kentucky is also headed to Milwaukee that weekend. I think it's safe to say that Wisconsin will play a neutral site match against the Wildcats. OR - fingers crossed! - Kentucky will travel 75 miles west and play at the Field House in Madison. I remember reading somewhere that UK was supposed to come to Madison as part of the cancelled 2020 schedule. (Marquette - Wisconsin at 4 PM will be head-to-head against Green Bay Packers season opener at 3:30 PM. I understand there are only so many time slots, etc., but still...) Adding...Baylor, Marquette and Wisconsin did something similar in 2019: Marquette at Wisconsin Thursday night, Baylor at Wisconsin Friday night, and then Baylor at Marquette Sunday afternoon. |

One more, and then I move on: so how come "serve receive" can't just be serve receive, it gets to be both "serve receive" and "passing", but "first touch of a free ball" has to be *only* referred to as "first touch after serve receive"? So long as they can be differentiated when necessary by their other designations, why can't they both be short-handed as generically "passing" from time to time? I think I said this 42 posts ago... but you call a freeball/pass/dig/serve whatever you want. You can say "great dig" when your kid passes a top spin serve if you want. But this started because a poster misinterpreted John Cook's desire for better passing as him wanting better floor defense. If John Cook is talking about passing he only means one thing and it is not freeballs or digging. This is funny! Why is anybody arguing with you about this? I'm glad that good stats don't record a dig for a free ball. I didn't know that and it's something I wish they would do in basketball for rebounds off of a free throw miss! I'm also surprised nobody has argued yet about the difference between free balls and down balls. |

Maybe Newton will hit over 200 this year! ouch As a Purdue fan I was actually hoping she’d forgo, we already know what we’re getting… 🥲 Hopefully she comes back better… |

I think she’s going to come back healed and ready to work. Out of the three (Koch, Chinn, Ellis) do any of them transfer now? I’m expecting at least one, but maybe two. Thoughts? |

So let me repeat my question: then what do we call the first touch of a free ball? It certainly shouldn't be counted as a "dig", though it is "defense"... It isn't recorded as a dig but it isn't recorded as a pass either. It is recorded as a "free ball" when coding. You know you are making a big deal of this when you're worrying what to call a free ball... And there you have it: people pushing over small children to defend stupid, silly historical terminology ... for the sake of ... maintaining consistency?
The other team's offense sent the ball over the net on a play that wasn't a serve. Your defender used their platform to touch the ball with both forearms and send the ball to the setter to be a set.
Nope -- that's not a "pass"!! Just can't get any sillier.
Exact same analogy: if serving were generally known as "hitting". Then you'd have the exact same poster here trying to tell us that after the setter sets the ball to an attacker, and the attacker strikes the ball with their hand in some form that sends the ball over the net .... nope! That's not a "hit"!! 🙄

PS - I fully agree this discussion has nothing to do with the Big Ten 2021, and apologize for derailing the thread.
My point and argument is correct, and I've proven it. Nothing I say will change the minds of posters on here, and I don't care in the slightest.
So that is that, from me. I'm sure the other posters will have some (petty) last words/personal insults to get in. Stay tuned

Stay tuned The hardest part for me will be to stop slipping into descriptive terms in my posts instead of the hard core fan and coaching terms that seem to be required on this board, but it is what it is.
I'm thinking that "ball control" might be a good compromise, while this doesn't adequately describe the act of one player sending the ball to another in a situation that doesn't involve the reception of a serve it is better than risking igniting another firestorm when I slip up and use the "P" word.
BTW: the reason for my confusion was that when I was taught the game a longer time ago than most of the posters on this board were alive. The "Dig" was the technique that we are all familiar with for keeping a low ball that is in front of you in play. At some point I missed when this became situational, or the coaches were wrong, which could be, after all it was the dark ages.  |

Just say "bump" and everyone will leave you alone (until someone overhands one of the swingy things that come over the net...). |

Back to a 20-match conference schedule for the Big Ten. I'll try to start tabulating these schedules in a second. I'd imagine that the floodgates will start to open, with schedules just spewing out all at once really soon.

Nebraska travels to Wisconsin on a Friday, but they come here on a Wednesday. The Badgers get: Iowa twice Illinois twice Indiana once Maryland once Michigan once Michigan State twice Minnesota twice Nebraska twice Northwestern twice Ohio State once (at home) Penn State once (at home) Purdue twice Rutgers once Am I reading that right? |
