I didn't get to watch this one How did Karakurt's reception hold up? This win is definitely exciting for Turkiye. Getting rid of Guidetti was the best thing for this team. She passed dimes! It was pretty good considering she only started playing OH this tournament and at the beginning she was only a sub, and OH wasn't working so well. She broke down emotionally at the last points of set 2 and 3 but other than she helped Vargas a lot.

When Hugh came on as USA coach, he completely changed the passing technique (this is the GM2 model, and Hugh was a GM2 coach. GM2 is a company co-owned by Doug Beal, who was also CEO of USA Volleyball). At the time, it was considered more of a "men's" style of passing, which for the sake of brevity, means more reliance on upper body strength to manage the platform and create angles. As with a lot of things, that men's style has become much more incorporated in the women's game. The old passing template is best exemplified by the japanese women's team. Most NCAA coaches only teach the new model now. this makes me wonder…which quad since london had the most consistent passing numbers, eye test or stats? The best coaching staff started before Sydney, under Haley, and then Toshi was Head Coach til 2004. I would think the time over-lapping Toshi and Lang Ping (2002 - 2008) but they didn't keep the really precise stats back then, and I doubt they can be coded/retrieved easily.

I know she's short but Pressley opposite try out?
I've seen her hit a volleyball from damn near every spot on the court lol. She has that Hooker athleticism, a strong arm and the years of adjusting to Sedwick surely helped her OOS lol
Accepting applications for opposite hopefuls

Even with Logan, those teams did not pass nearly as well as our Rio Quad team did (or Tokyo team did).

Just got back from the match and the most glaring difference watching live was service pressure differential. Turkey seemed to consistently apply pressure and USA seemed to rarely apply pressure.
There is tons of post about passing but I was actually impressed USA was right there to take it to 5 considering they brought a knife to a gun fight in the serve game.

Actually I think we brought a fork to a gun fight, but I agree

Turkiye and Ebrar especially were completely freaking out and we couldn't outlast them
