USAV Men's Team to go for Bronze -- Inexcusable. Time's up for Speraw, imho.

Well, I didn't think the US women would get to the gold medal match. In spite of what some people think about Karch as a coach, he's been able to pull the right strings to get the US thru some pretty difficult matches.
I thought that Plummer's deficiencies as a receiver would counter her extremely good hitting. The fire power of Skinner, Plummer and especially Annie Drews has gotten the US thru some tough matches; along with help from Robinson-Cook, Larson, defense from Carlini. This team has just gotten better and better as they go along. I think that this year's result has been a real team effort; with Robinson-Cook coming in to hit/pass occasionally; Larson doing the same; Carlini and Thompson coming in with the double sub. Just about everybody has made a contribution on the court in some way.
I've been impressed by how Robinson-Cook and Larson have handled their roles as substitutes; how Dana Rettke has hardly place more than a minute, yet has remained upbeat and enthusiastic on the sidelines. That's hard to do for players who are used to being the go-to players.
This team reminds me of the USWNT soccer team. They also were not expected to do very well, but they ended up with the gold. Here's hoping the US women's volleyball team can do the same.
With the emergence of Skinner and Plummer, and Drews looking so good, things are looking up for the US women's national team.
