Aside from losing your best scorer in the Olympics...if JT misses a few matches you lose the typically effective complementary pieces of JT/Drews who can sub in for each other when one is struggling. If you get one of those "Bad" Annie matches...what is the play? Is it moving MBH to opposite and using either Hill or *gulp* KRob at OH? I think you'd have to go to Hill there. I don't think you can win with both KRob and Larson at OH. So, naturally, Karch would go with KRob. I don't get the long leash for Robinson. If the thinking is she's better at ball control, well, she hasn't made a difference there either. |

Also, the USA jerseys are heinous. They look like someone's underwear...worn backwards! |

Yeah weird cause that’s the part of her game is pretty solid shoot many thought she may suit up as libero for us here again and her receive and defense hasn’t been particularly stellar. Now Justine well I am glad she is showing she earned her spot and deserves it hope to see more of her going forward even in Paris |

Gotta ride or die with MBH. She needs to work her way out of these slumps and hope that our side of the net settles and gets her some better looks. I don't care if Robinson has a one on one and a perfect set, she still isn't going to contribute offensively. She shouldn't come in unless MBH is totally shanking SR
*Paging the geniuses who tried arguing that the #12 spot doesn't matter when we have no viable offensive OH sub* (Hill is relegated to a serving sub)

Or is it his assistants giving him feedback? I don't know. But not putting Hill at OH at all these last two games really is saying a lot about him as a coach. |

Would they not bring up an alternate if JT can’t play? Not allowed. Only before play starts apparently. Oh wow, I did not know that. So what is the point of alternates if they can’t come upon these situations?? Weird. |

Bartsch was tied with Thompson for most kills and she's killing at a 44% rate. So I'd have to disagree. there is no way those stats are correct. They’ve been off all tourney. She had like two Wrong. She had 4 kills when they subbed her out. |

I argued that the #12 spot doesn’t matter? I don't know, but, didn't you say SWP/Plummer doesn't make this team better the other day? I think I'm with you on Plummer. But, I think SWP could certainly be impactful at this point given what we're seeing. Or at least let's #FreeKimHill a la c4ndlelight |
