If Texas does well in the tournament this year? For clarity, I'm pretty sure you meant: "IF" Texas does well in the tournament this year??? đŸ™„ Yes |

VolleyTalk PSA: If anyone is ever looking for a 2022 VT team thread or wondering if one's been made for a team or conference, I've kept an updated thread with links to all of them here: Team Thread Links - Fall 2022I also shoehorned those links into the second post of the pinned match threads thread because I'm lazy and it's marginally easier to access them there than to find the team thread links thread in my bookmarks. Here's a link to that second post for good measure: Second Post - (Match Threads for Week 8 - Come Here for the Links!). |

Sealy is safe until the move to the SEC *B1G 10? That’s disappointing. |

*B1G 10? That’s disappointing. Sealy is a good man but I have no idea how UCLA is struggling so badly. Sealy probably is (I don't know him) a good man. But that's not really the point, is it? I take no pleasure in recognizing a person is ill-fitted to their job title. The point of my original post isn't that UCLA is struggling now -- it is that UCLA from 2013 onward, the pure Sealy program, is performing well under it's capability given the prestige of the degree, the desirability of the campus itself, and UCLA's history of National Championships in each volleyball program -- Men's, Women's, and Beach. I really hope, for both the current SAs, and the recruits coming in next year, that UCLA can provide better coaching *sooner* than when UCLA joins the B1G. Like... the day after UCLA either doesn't make this year's NCAAs, or the day they are eliminated. The current SAs evidently appreciate being a student at UCLA so much that they take an irrelevant program as an acceptable trade-off. Why should they have to live with such a compromise when UCLA could provide them so much more? |

Unpopular opinion....my guess is Jaylen Reyes will be coaching at UCLA very very soon... I have no insight on this, but it's just a guess. I suspect he won't be at Nebraska at the end of this season for obvious reasons and UCLA fits the bill. He is young, high energy and from the west coast. UCLA needs a shot in the arm, he is a fantastic recruiter and can teach the tricks of the trade. So I've been really busy lately and out of the loop. I just went over to the Nebraska thread to figure out what the "obvious reasons" were...I missed a lot. |

I find it hard to believe they’re going to try to force him into a relocation situation because of that particular rumor, but what do I really know? |

The current SAs evidently appreciate being a student at UCLA so much that they take an irrelevant program as an acceptable trade-off. Why should they have to live with such a compromise when UCLA could provide them so much more? I'll say this. If this was football or men's basketball, Sealy would have already been fired for his results, national championship or not. Look at Ed Orgeron. He won a title with one of the best teams ever and was fired two years later. Same with Gene Chizik at Auburn. In some ways, Sealy reminds me of Mike Tomlin and my Steelers. Both won a title with a team they inherited, and both have underperformed relative to the talent they had since then (and before anyone argues that Tomlin has never had a losing season, I'll point out that having a Hall of Fame quarterback the entire time really helps, and that streak is in serious jeopardy this season). I'm not invested in UCLA women's volleyball, but at this point, I tend to agree that they should make a move. It's not going to get any easier once UCLA moves to the Big Ten, so if Sealy isn't cut out for that conference, it will become apparent quickly. But if the AD thinks that's the case, make a move now. |

Where is Sealy in terms of his current contract? Is he up for renewal this year?

Waiting until "down 24" before calling a TO was a clue. And, of course, not using both of his TOs to stop the other team's momentum was another clue.

UCLA is a plum job and UCLA should be contacting Petrie, Greeny and KBB No one’s contacting KBB or Petrie because they have said time and time again they will not be moving, for sure with kbb. I doubt even Nebraska could convince her to move |
