Ahh, sadly, I will not. I must protect the innocent as well as the guilty by keeping real names out. Ahhh same old Wolfgang -- quick to post comments, but slow to provide supporting data...too bad.

#4) Game Management, Our coach seems to be stumbling around this area, and he use too be listed among the top coaches. After this weekend it looks like time is passing him by, he was unable to make adjustments to a new offense that was thrown at him by a very talented younger coach. Instead his adjustment was to yell at the girls for not using there hands right while blocking, which was partially true, but the major adjustment needed to be made was with there positioning, and getting the middle blocker to help out on the outsides. I say for sure not making substitutions, especially if you have a middle who is playing all the way around and is too tired to get to the spots to help out. If your DS's are not getting any digs, and serve-out. How about just realizing that some of the seniors are just not near as talented, no matter what the reason is, if you want to win you have to put the best team on the floor, it is not a coaches fault if girls do not work on there own to get better or lack the ability. Put the best team on the floor, let someone earn it back in practice. There is no room in this great game of ours for girls who throw hissy fits because they can't have there own way. Senior, jr., frosh.. #5) Playing favorites, all players should be treated the same. If a coach thinks they might crack, if he yells, then there are most likely going to crack anyway at one time or another. All that you get from favorite playing is decent ion. Whatever happened to everybody being treated equal, even superstars, if a coach has to worry about them leaving the program, then he should let them go, not give them special treatment. 6.) How about changing with the times, learning from the younger. Like taken the long, and or high jump approach, it limits the hitters. If you want to see a good offense run go watch what the UCSD coach is running. Very inventive and resourcefull, allows the outsides to mix it up, plus play more D, they never step out side the side line unless it is to hit hard angle.>.....Totally messes up old style coaching, frustrated our coach to no end, you would think he would have helped the blockers out, by repositioning them, , or had his middle blockers giving left side help, heck what hitter doesn't want a one on one situation. Taking any resonsibility for his inabilty to read a new offense which had just been thrown at him was simply not gonna happen, instead it was the same old, your using your hands wrong, and what do you need the middle to help you for anyway. he just couldn't make the adjustment. Gotta give it to the newbe coach, and X great National player, he is very impressive, and has his team playing very well together, mixes the old with the new extrodinarily well. He has taken a mediocre team and made them very good and competitive. Might be a sleeper for the final four...

I'm sure there are days when a coach exudes brilliance and other days when he is just mediocre. When we catch them on the brillliant days, we think he's brillliant.
Timing is everything.

San Diego just beat Long Beach State this past weekend. The Toreros coach is Jennifer Petrie and she is assisted by Brent Hilliard, former 1992 Olympian. Petrie has done an excellent job at building the program down in San Diego and she'll continue to do a great job down at Alcala Park.

You don't have to be part of a program to have an educated opinion about what goes on there. Look at the players they get, look at how players develop, watch how coaches act during games & even maybe watch a practice or two. It is possible to have an opinion about a program. After all, that's what most players & their parents are doing before they decide what school to attend. There's truth to the joke: opinions are like asses... I guess I needed to say 'credible opinion.' Most players find that what they thought college volleyball at their university would be like, and reality are vastly different. If you watch players develop, how coaches act in games, and maybe even a practice or two, you might have .001 of the information needed to form a valid theory. One certainly can't form an 'educated opinion' based on that. Accounting for what you don't know is very difficult. Still, I wouldn't miss reading this volleyball tabloid

Still, I wouldn't miss reading this volleyball tabloid Before you know it, this forum will be overrun with headlines like: "Volleyball Stars Without Makeup!" or "Coach says Aliens Abducted his Team!" Long time ago, in 1999, Lindsey Kagawa was my favorite target for the former. I just could not get over the blush and Night at the Opera get-up.
