They didn't mention, "the bun"..... ? 🤦♂️.... General sense on VolleyTalk that Merritt seems to play better without the bun. I'm aware.... we need the pony tail back.

I watched a Nebraska match recently. Upon seeing a shot of the bench I saw several faces I recognized. I know J. Cook the head coach, I certainly know the Gov, and I'm aware of the other coaches on staff. However there was a face I didn't know, one that led me to think to myself "who is that woman seemingly just hanging out on the bench, doing no apparent coaching?"
I consulted the "Coaches" link on the Husker website. Turns out that woman is Lindsay Peterson, who is indeed not a coach but rather Director of Operations. This led me to think to myself again, this time querying "Is it usual for Ops Directors to sit on benches during matches? And if so, why? And how would I describe the idea of a color?"
OK that last one is superfluous. But in terms of volleyball, how frequently do Directors of Operations sit on benches of other teams?

This loss being now instead of later is comforting for like a cute 10 mins and then I come to the realization that something has to change within the coaching of this team. Serving has been mediocre, passing is less than average, and the defense looks flat and embarrassing. I could really go on but the staff has to change something soon because we can’t play like this against stanford or louisville it’ll be a beat down.

Can someone who knows more about the sport at this level explain why our serving continues to be weak? It is the one skill the player executes independently (yes, I know the passer also determines the outcome, but the pace, float, spin, and placement are in the server's control). I just cannot wrap my mind around athletes of this caliber serving this way, this year again. Is it the coaching, is it mental block?
Only one of many questions after watching... that. Not panicking and hoping to see much improvement in the next two matches before Creighton.

Serving and passing used to be our strength on the years past especially on the years when we had troubles with our pins providing offense. It was the one thing we could always rely on. Now it has become a weakness. It’s no surprise that we struggle mightily against good serving teams because no one in our gym can serve tough consistently. It’s early in the season but if things doesn’t improve on the future then we’re gonna have to wait for title #6

^Ignore the nearly 60 year old troll commenting on our player. that guy probably doesnt even know what he’s doing he’s so angry and unbalanced Just going to tell you again. Harper is a symptom of a culture problem. You’re going to get swept a lot this year. I promise.

General sense on VolleyTalk that Merritt seems to play better without the bun. ponytail all the way. 🐎 Tonight: YES! Red bottoms in the NE locker room. The important thing is that they learned something from this game.
