USA didn't give visa to Amin and Salehi for Anaheim leg of VNL.
Iran requested to change of their group or host(they were willing host as well) from FIVB 3 months ago. Fivb said we will figure it out with American Federation and IOC. Well, they couldn't.
Like how stupid by Fivb to not change it 3 months ago. Do they live in a fantasy world?
It's host responsibility to give visas for every participant. Why USA has to be host if they can't issue visas...
If you want more detail, military service is obligatory in Iran. (If they win an international medal, they don't need to. But Amin and Salehi weren't a part of group which won medals. So they had to go to service.)

Nothing USAV or the IOC could do about that

Fivb is terrible to not know this ..Amin was a VNL star last year and it was a well know fact he can't go abroad cause of military service.

that's just a really unfortunate situation imo...but FIVB knew about it for months and didn't change anything yeah? it's not like USAV has enough clout to get the government to grant exceptions like that

Does Joe Worsley not want to play National Team ball anymore ? He’s gotta be better than Issacson and Shaw. I’m just curious if he’s not getting an invite or if he’s turning them down? he would rather grow his company while playing 4 man in Hermosa Beach.

Way below Maa and Tuaniga in that position l

If I had to guess, he transitions to college coaching in a few years I hope so. I would like J Worsley on Wade's coaching staff before he hangs it up.
