Out of curiosity, do pro teams typically only play a single libero, or do they have a defensive specialist too? Like in college, you can have one or two defensive specialists in addition to your libero because you have enough substitutions for that. But I know the pros have fewer subs. honestly it depends on the team. I would say normally, most teams dress two liberos, using one. some teams will have their main libero and then dress someone they're not going to play (4th middle/oh) as the libero so they can use the reserve libero as a DS. This is what conegliano did with Kathryn Plummer. this is the rarest but some teams will have a libero for passing, another for defense. Kojima has played both of those roles for the Japan national team. Thanks. I guess I'll understand better when I actually see how it plays out in matches. |

Kojima has played both of those roles for the Japan national team. Thanks. I guess I'll understand better when I actually see how it plays out in matches. What you’ll likely see is a back row sub for three rotations toward the end of a set, where a DS (either a libero in a regular jersey, or another OH) comes in for the weaker passing OH. For example if Lush were on a team with Plummer she may come in for three rotations in the back row, late in a set, while Plummer sits. Plummer gets just one re-entry to the set, so she then re-enters when rotating to the front row and finishes the set out, whether she rotates back to the back row again or not. That’s probably the most common/easiest use of a DS in pro leagues IMO. Of course in real life Plummer’s team does something more complicated sometimes, but that won’t be utilized much from others IMO. (You could bring Lush in for a middle, and utilize the libero to take Plummer’s back row rotations until Lush has to sub back out for the middle to re-enter.) (Yes I realize Lush and Plummer won’t be on the same team but using names makes it easier to visualize) |

RJP and Casanova play Oppo Dani has always played OH Dani has played opposite for three of her past pro teams (Full time in Japan, part time in Italy/AU) More so than Roni has anyways. They can't keep Hoffman off court (and Dani is probably better than Heidy anyways) |
