No. Paula Pequeno won MVP in 2008 Unless Tayyiba means a metaphorical MVP??? Which she was. |

she played the first half of the greek season, hit .100 and was let go (I assume anyways). Went to the second division in Greece where it looks like they got promotion. Something seemed immediately caught my eye about her arms on her approach. I couldn't tell what it was, so I watched a couple clips at 0.25 speed. Instead of just swinging her arms back on her penultimate step, she windmills them around 360. I don't think I've ever noticed someone doing that. That's a (slightly) common russian technique. The idea is that the windmill or roundhouse motion is a more natural movement for the ball and socket joint in the shoulder. Her father was a long time coach and interacted with the russian NT a lot. I watched about 7 minutes of the video, and I didn't notice it particularly. |

I guess I noticed something was different because I’m not used to seeing it, just couldn’t tell what was different until I watched it in slow-mo. |

If you're interested, I think the best example of the technique I've noticed can be seen in early 1990's video of Artamonova. (She would also do it when she wasn't able to approach much, since she has such a long wing span). |

Watching her in VNL last month I was impressed with her windup and follow through. |

It was never announced. According to family, he was let go about a week after the playoffs. Rumor is, during exit interviews, some players expressed that they would not re-sign in Atlanta if he were still coach. When he deleted all Vibe references from social media I succeeded in reaching out to him. I told him I didn't expect any details but just wanted to know if he was alright. He gave me an emphatic "Yes!" and a thank you. No word on where he may resurface, but, he's always seemed a firm and enthusiastic believer in the league. A far as Banwarth, most seem wary due to the rumored circumstances behind her suspension and eventual resignation at Ole Miss. |
