After China has been confirmed to be unable to advance to the elimination round, Lang Ping is giving strong hints she is resigning, making a public statement of apology, choking back tears, to Chinese fans for the team's underperformance. She also said she is "too tired" to carry on after Tokyo and its "time for a younger generation of coaches" to take over the team. Her contract ends after Tokyo anyway, but I guess she is giving strong hints she is done coaching the team in any case: Lang Ping's Apology to fans (google translate): translate.google.com/translate?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=https://2020.sina.com.cn/2021-08-01/doc-ikqcfncc0175807.shtmlLang Ping: "I'm too tired and want to rest. I should let the young coach lead the women's volleyball team forward" (google translate): translate.google.com/translate?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=https://2020.sina.com.cn/2021-08-01/doc-ikqcfncc0181990.shtmlAlso, Chinese news are reporting that Zhu Ting was supposed to have hand surgery in 2020. When the Olympics got delayed, that plan was thrown off. Question is, who can replace Lang Ping in China right now? There are no obvious candidates...or is there?

Who is the other female coach going to hang out with at the international events now? Kumi Nakada is the head coach of the Japanese women NT. She was the setter for Japan's NT during her playing days, winning bronze at Los Angeles. Although I don't know if she will continue to coach after Tokyo either.

I was mostly pointing out that we can't afford to lose more of the very few women coach in the male-dominated field of women's volleyball. Maybe the US could get Lang Ping back.

But I think Lang Ping wants to retire from coaching and spend more time with her family and away from the limelight. She has hinted at this before Tokyo.

Honestly she deserves to be fired given the results. Especially if the rumors that she overworked everyone are true

Someone well connected with an upper level party apparatchik. Yeah, I was mentioning in the main Tokyo indoor women thread that unconfirmed Chinese news report are saying China's underperformance was due to political interference from Chinese bureaucrats. Allegedly, there was political inflighting in the Chinese volleyball federation and Lang Ping was stripped of her power to select the Tokyo roster or even who she can put on court, which would explain why Zhu was on court despite her injury and why Lang Ping didn't made as much subs as she normally would in those situations. Now that report is unsubstantiated at this point, so I'm not going to post a link to that article, but if true, then Lang Ping is being made a scapegoat here and the real villains behind-the-scenes are getting off scot free despite them running the team into the ground.

I recall reading that LP is moving back to CA. Is this still true? I believe her daughter is in LA or BArea. Maybe it is why the chinese boss wanted to punish her.

She's only 60. LP could have her choice of jobs in the US. Whatever the problem was with China, she will learn from it and fix it next time.
