This might be the worst time for the USA to have had a short quad (tri) -- too much turnover and seemingly a Gold Medal hangover. Hope they figure it out in a year.

thats was incredible fight but you cannot go to JT there... Then he shouldn't have brought her in. Bringing someone in at 14-19 in the fourth set for the match and not setting her until you're down match point on a play that we so infrequently run is not the choice.

if you're going to criticize anyone on court tonight, it should be Karch.
Micha didn't have her best night. Karch brought an injured setter as backup.
Starting with Kelsey as an OH1 is just a travesty... and its a problem we knew well in advance.
Frantti continues to be doubted and brought on too late...
Injuries arent helping... but Karch (And staff) is just... i dont have words

Why are folks acting like Lanier was the issue when we didn’t set the middle but a handful of times and couldn’t keep a serve in?

Sigh. I'm bummed but only because USA played sooooo badly (overall)
Karch sucks and should have started JT in the last set and let her warm up a bit.
Is it just me or does this team seem to be getting worse, not better?

This match is 100% on coaching. Santarelli coached circles around Karch. AGAIN!

Has anyone seen Hancock have a worse match? Because she isn't good. She is all we have though. Poulter probably won't ever be like she was. Carlini's body is also breaking down. It just sucks. If Carlini cannot play, then why is she there at all? Karch made some bad decisions during the match, but his worst decisions were the players he brought

I’ll be interested to see the stats
Positives: - O’Neal did well coming in late and making an impact - Frantti put the team on her back. Great defensive and offensive performance -Lanier was pretty consistent throughout and held up on SR despite some late errors - Rettke went on some excellent serving runs and turned the momentum at the end of set 3

Then he shouldn't have brought her in. you bring her in because anyone playing defense is better than annie. there's no reason to use her on the BIC in that situation. Esp on her first swing of the match. There was nothing wrong with the decision to use a bic there. You need your opposite to rip, and JT hasn't been doing that of late. Karch shouldn't have brought her in that late--it was basically a trap sub.

Khalia. Frantti. Rettke. O'Neal. JT. Skinner. Let's break up with Cook and Hancock. you can't break up with your only setter when the other one has a quad injury 😂 We have time. Hancock should not play again that.

This was some of Micha’s worst ever decision making. She’s normally so much more steady than this. Also, I knew the oppo bic is a set play there but how do we completely write off Frantti for that point. Not only decision making, location was not there all night There was really no good decision tbh- Lanier just hit our, JT hasn’t taken a swing in hours, O’Neal was risky and running at Ebrar, and Frantti (the only good choice) was not available on that set play.

Anyways really impressed with frantti.. still a lot of question marks who our actual best outsides are but she has been so consistent and improved so much
