If we’re looking ahead to Paris already, I only ask for Cuttino. 😏

Thrusting her into this "we win or lose on your shoulders (hands) only because we didn't bring someone we can trust in a 5-1" this soon was a huge mistake. Well now that US has likely blown their chance for gold...there will be plenty of time for dissecting what went wrong. I wonder what Carlini is thinking now? She's probably thinking, "At least I'm not the only one who can't set the middles" |

In reading this thread, I most certainly will have to find the replay. Without seeing it, it sounds like the same old song the team has been singing since 2019, and not Kumbaya. Larson and KRob cannot terminate, but at least one has to be on the floor for passing. If MBH isn't on, this team is practically screwed in terms of advancing to a gold medal match. Setting is also inconsistent, and that would still be true if Carlini were there. Either they start to up their play in a way they have rarely shown in 2 years...or, we start planning for Paris and hoping that Parsons and Plummer are able to contribute. I still think US has some fight left. Tactically, it’s interesting though - esp since I think Hill and Bartsch-Hackley probably play the fast offense best (with their club setters anyway). The setters. Justice for Carlini? Don’t think so! Hancock is very good if she starts and gets that served warmed up. It’s not really a benefit for her to expect to rip it cold off the bench. I think she sets the middles they best, but something is up with them. All setters are similar in that they benefit from having a big terminating opposite. But a lot of teams have stepped it up for the Olympics, hopefully the US has not plateaued. |

No one, not even Carlini, escapes the Sports Performance curse.I agree, but do some of the usual suspects here agree too...or they are too set in their ways to see reason. |

I'll always have love for her, but I never thought this was her time. Even in VNL, she wasn't close to who I think she can be in the future. I think back-up would've done her well so she could see things. Thrusting her into this "we win or lose on your shoulders (hands) only because we didn't bring someone we can trust in a 5-1" this soon was a huge mistake. the biggest mistake was announcing the roster a whole month before the games... No room to make any sort of competition for Poulter. she didnt *have* to get better... cause it was her spot. nothing Carlini could do. imo I feel like it was a mistake announcing the roster early because everyone knew which players to look out for and this year's VNL shouldn't have been about retaining the title but rather letting the newbies/younger players gain some experience |

to be fair idk what's up with Poulter. She's really talented but Tokyo has been a pretty brutal showing for her. I'll always have love for her, but I never thought this was her time. Even in VNL, she wasn't close to who I think she can be in the future. I think back-up would've done her well so she could see things. Thrusting her into this "we win or lose on your shoulders (hands) only because we didn't bring someone we can trust to replace you in a 5-1" this soon was a huge mistake. Exactly. That's a lot of pressure. |

Lilley has not played a moment of international volleyball... let's take a step back. She has the IT factor and the smarts....she will do well at the international level That sounds like a good description of Carlini. So, clearly, if Karch is still coach Lilley will not be selected. |

It’s too bad Karch wasn’t able to watch Season 2 episode 2 of Ted Lasso. No chance he cuts Carlini after watching that. Damn you Ted Lasso.

I still cannot believe how USA beat this same Russian team a month ago with Hill at libero along with Krob and Drews playing the entire match.
