Oh that's YOU!  Yeah, just look for Terzic shaking the net while yelling at the refs and you'll find me! By the end of this week, you will be back to your old Norah Sus. |

Do people just forget Tama Miyashiro exists, or is there something about her I should know? Yes. Care to elaborate? |

I’d genuinely like to hear who you think are good choices. Not saying I disagree with you but you just seem to hate like 99% of suggestions on here (every other thread too lol) but I’m genuinely curious who you think it should be since you seem to have such strong opinions about other people thoughts I’ll be happy to post something lengthier. Just give me a few hours cuz I’m headed out right now.stanfordvb (or anyone interested) here it is: In terms of a replacement for Karch, my basic criteria are: Must have international experience, have a stable, concrete vision and approach, but not too inflexible, be a program builder (which means being player centered, emphasizing training, physical and personal development), and no outside jobs. There are only a handful of USA coaches with any amount of significant international coaching experience at the senior/pro level. And fewer with any amount of head coach experience. So disagreeing with the above suggestions isn't very difficult. But I start out with the question of why is Speraw publicly limiting the applicant pool in the first place? I don't know the answer, but it could be intentional or unintentional. It could be philosophical ("I want US coaches to coach our National Teams") or it could be because he's not familiar enough with international coaches on the women's side, and feels more comfortable with an "internal" choice. But he doesn't have to state any of this publicly. He could simply post the job, interview and select whomever he wants and make the announcement. There is no real urgency to fill this position because USA is already qualified for the 28 Games, NCAA is in season, pro seasons are just getting started, and there is plenty of time to get someone onboard. I think that the long term view is most important, and I would not have an issue with some type of transition coach being appointed who could build a cadre of coaches, align the coaching in the USAV developmental programs, and pave the way for a longer term Head Coach appointment (this could benefit both NT's, assuming Karch only stays one quad). I think Hugh could do this, or someone like Velasco (although his English isn't great), Selinger or maybe an Italian or Brazilian). While I agree that a long-term vision is important, I think that the focus should be on securing a permanent coach rather than appointing an interim one. The team needs a clear direction, and a transition coach would complicate that. A transition period could create unnecessary instability and could hinder the momentum the team has built under Karch's leadership, especially if we're looking at a two-year cycle before moving on to a new coach. You also have to consider how an interim coach could affect the players and staff dynamics in the short term. IMO finding a new permanent head coach now, would provide more clarity, consistency, and stability in the long-term for the program. |

IMO finding a new permanent head coach now, would provide more clarity, consistency, and stability in the long-term for the program. I agree to some degree. The real question is does Speraw have a long term vision yet? He’s appointing two “new” head coaches at the beginning of his appointment, and he has acknowledged that he is relatively inexperienced. Appointing an equally inexperienced Head Coach does not necessarily provide the clarity, consistency or stability for the long-term. In terms of the transition, my premise is that Speraw intended to create a change on the women’s side. By switching Karch he potentially doubled the transition effect. If he were most concerned with the transition or instability, he would have left Karch in place. |

If he were most concerned with the transition or instability, he would have left Karch in place. you've said this a few times before. I disagree that Speraw was 'trying to create change on the women's side'. Why? They've medaled all 3x under Karch. They won WCs under Karch. They won gold under Karch. To think Speraw was 'trying to create change on the women's side' and not 'trying to bring gold medal pedigree, both as a player and as a coach' to the men's side is quite something. Speraw was hired to lure back the junior boys clubs. That was USAV's most pressing issue and the greatest failure of the previous CEO. Speraw's priority was establishing the men's NT coach for this reason. He needed that to be rock solid as he begins his campaign so he brought in someone who could do the job but who also could provide pull in the juniors world. The women are good. Their numbers are great. Their participation is through the roof. their pipeline is really solid. do you honestly think Speraw looked across the ASC and said 'yeah, that's gotta change immediately!'? (and ya'll know I'm no Karch loyalist...) |

I don’t think it was necessarily Speraw’s agenda going in (he wasn’t expecting the job), but his appointment opened a path to do it that wasn’t available otherwise. |
