None other that Nyline himself will be in the house to ask Coach Rose all kinds of questions. You know.... the kinds of questions and observations that garner those "Negative Nellie" comments... But seriously, I get the impression Nyline has worked hard to establish a relationship with Coach Rose based on trust and respect. It would be unfair to expect him to pester the Coach with difficult questions. We're very lucky to have Nyline there to give us a direct feed from the post-game presser. Here's hoping a return to Rec Hall will help the team get back on the right track. |

Let's hope for a solid victory tonight. |

I think it depends on your definition of tough questions. If one were to ask a question about next season, recruiting, transfers, etc., I am certain Coach Rose would (appropriately) say he's focused on this season. If one were to ask a question like "Do you think this team has a realistic chance to advance to the Sweet 16" I think he would say "Anything is possible in the Tournament, good and bad. We'll have to see. They'll have to play very well to get there." Or something like that. If one were to ask "What's wrong with Player X," I think he would give a thoughtful non-answer, or else defend the player in a variant of a non-answer. If one were to ask "Why is Player Y not playing more" I think he would say he always goes with the player who is playing better in practice.
I'm not interested in asking any of those questions, or in hearing any of those answers.

I'm not interested in asking any of those questions, or in hearing any of those answers. Here are some questions I'd like to ask. It seems like after Glass and Dietzen left there a few months ago, the team played really well for a few weeks. Is that assumption correct? If so, would he/could he bring in some former players before the tourney? Also, what position does he think he needs the most help at this year? Does he foresee that position getting stronger next year? It seems the current squad has the talent, on paper, to play better. Does this team's lack of success, at times, stem from lack confidence, at times? |

Does this team's lack of success, at times, stem from lack confidence, at times? I think the first question is a fair one (though I'd ask it somewhat differently). I think the second one falls into the "What's wrong with Player X" along with, at least in part, being a question about recruiting/transfers, so I'd skip that one. I think a version of the third one is fair -- what role has confidence, or lack of confidence, played in the team's performances this season, and if it's lack of confidence, how do you address that? |

My question goes back to Coach Rose's comments following the loss to North Carolina:
I’m terribly disappointed in everything except the crowd and the band. It’s hard to be there for 2 1/2 hours and see people perform at the end of the match and at the end of the games as we did. North Carolina has five seniors and they hung in there, and we had kids who I thought would be able to compete a little bit harder, and other than Simone [Lee], who I thought was just a hammer the whole night, I’m really disappointed in the effort [and] the coaching. The University really supports the Program well, and I’m really disappointed that this is what it looks like under my direction.
How we lost [this match] is one of the worst ways a team can lose, and that is to quit. . . . It was 22 to 20 in the second game, and we lost 25-22 and made five errors in a row. [We] were winning in the fourth game, made some errors, could have gotten over the hump, but didn’t. North Carolina hung in there, and did a better job, and they coached better than we coached, and that’s the answer.
Given those comments after the season's third game, where is the team today and what are your feelings?

This is a game we have to force the middle. This will free up our OHS and get their confidence back.
Looking for 10 to 15 kills for each middle.
I would like to see faster balls to the pins too.
