I was referring more to team of faucett harmatto do erico glass brown hodge Wilson teams Dom and micha were leaders in their era for sure Fair enough. Unfortunately, I didn't start watching PSU until 2010 and so missed that whole era.  You missed what might have been some of the most dominant teams in the history of sport and I’m not talking about for psu I’m talking about whole league. Psu had some of the best teams ever assembled They literally had all Americans at every position including in bench. It was crazy |

Now that I think back to those unbeatable psu teams. If I look at starters from those squads seems every single one had leadership qualities. That mixed with their talent made them a juggernaut. I think a player's personality is an important factor in whom Coach Rose selects. I haven't seen a single post match presser in which the player wasn't an exceptional communicator If personality is an important factor--and "fit" within the team--it may explain why PSU isn't a big player in the transfer game. Just a thought. (as a disclaimer, I have absolutely no insider knowledge. Ask yourself, would you trust me? But seriously, I only know what I've observed--mostly on TV/streaming video. But from watching how the coaches and team interact, it seems as if there's more than "just volleyball" going on.) |

Which is why it’s not hard to imagine it could be the transfer he was referring to in his presser. High percentage of cases like that it’s not gonna be the underclassman so who’s left. White nah. Gorrell don’t see it and he already said reed said right thing and I’m hard pressed to believe it was bench player so u justwiddle it down. Are their exceptions to rules sure but I’m gonna takenthe higher percentage that it prob wasn’t underclassmen or bench player. Take those out and the comment that reed said right thing and your list has gotten very short. 4 players short. Another thing I don’t know how to feel about the whole Kendall is calling my shots thing. It’s mixed emotions. On the plus if your not seeing things and someone else is get help that shows strength in my eyes on the other hand Kendall calling her shots tells me she doesn’t have natural court vision that a lot of the great players do. They can see everything going on and know where it needs to go But maybe I’m being to harsh. Maybe we as fans have been so spoiled with the players that have come through the program that I have set expectations at unrealistic lvl. Idk |

photos seem to reveal not a huge crowd. what's with that? I suppose I could look up stats on their average attendance. This left me puzzled.
Someone mentioned that they thought there were around 3,900 people there. It's a big court; capacity is 7,233.

You know it’s been mentioned by some other teams posters that if blossom doesnt work that Parker was a pretty good setter herself. I said yeah but that can’t even be entertained until they have some established pins. U can’t pull her off that until then

No way I can see Parker being the setter. She's too important a hitter, blocker, etc.
Blossom will be just fine, I think.

She’s right size. She on smaller side for pin but right for setter. Blossom is a short setter |

That said, not sure what good his comments do at this point of the season. The season’s over. Keep some of it in the locker room. Kids are hurting. Seems kind of petty IMO. |

Like I said I think it was to just show reed that he backs her up and what better way then in front of cameras. That’s the only thing that makes sense to me in that situation for that to be brought out. Psu is always so quiet with stuff In their program. I think there’s had to be some pretty strong feelings for it to be presented that way. Everyone knows psu is one of the hardest programs to get a jump on info. They keep things pretty tightly locked most time. This is rarity. Then again there’s the distinct possibility that it wasn’t massive deal and we as fans or media have blown it way up when it’s not huge deal |

Coach's comment was cryptic and confusing. I can only guess that he was upset and he decided to compliment Nia by comparison to another.

He usually takes the blame as the coach.
Maybe someone said something like, " I tried my best" and what he wanted to hear was, "I could have done better". Who knows?
He sounded like a disappointed coach. It was probably nothing they hadn't heard before.
As someone from here said, sorry, can't remember who it was, they exceeded our expectations as a team.

I also thought the question about Stanford adjustments was a good one and Coach chose to focus on the serving instead of all the other changes Stanford made mid match. Stanford did better in serve receive about mid second set and then our block stopped working. Stanford also adjusted their hitting and several players who were stoned in set one turned things around.
Coach seemed pretty disappointed = which is why he wins so much. He sets the highest expectations.
