19. Don’t know. much depends on how long the set goes, how many subs they plan to use. If passing goes south, more DSs will be used.

Basketball will happen after the volleyball match is done and they pull up the TeraFlex. so no set time. But don’t see it happening before 7

Cindy. I notice that the UCSB match has been moved up to 4:00 p.m. from 5:00 p.m. Isn’t the Wahine basketball team was suppose to have a inter-squad scrimmage that evening too? What time is the basketball scrimmage supposed to start with the new starting time for the volleyball match?

the last time I saw them running a modified 6-2 was on the first road trip at the start of the BW conference play. Huff and Passi when they rotated to the front row were subbing in for the 2 setters. DS/L for the middles. the 3 reg outsides played all 6 rotations.

Benchcoach.

It would help if people could were kept abreast.

Koelsch may be a Sand VB/WVB player yet she was recruited initially as a BEACH athlete.

Huge differences in knowing something about something.

Where’s all the patience for our VB Hall of Fame coach?!

A long-range plan would surely be helpful.
Just sayin’

Cindy, If dave runs a true 6-2. do you think he will let kendra play all rotations? Or will that limit someone like nikki taylor, who plays opposite, from playing?

16. True the Passi-Koelsch combo rarely used but it was very effective in the UCI match, probably Passi’s kill turned Set 3 in the Wahine’s favor.
I don’t know if that’s going to be the true swap. As you say, that one time vs. UCI it meant Taylor being out. but they’re going to have to change the lineup Sunday. And they do like Koelsch right front for blocking.

17. UCSB asked that it be scheduled earlier in order for them to make sure they get to the airport on time. I don’t have their itinerary so I don’t know their flight time. They asked UH if it could be at 4 p.m. to accommodate their flight and UH agreed. Not the first time it’s happened. There’s been a number of times that mainland teams are scrambling to get out of the arena to get to the airport in time if matches or basketball games take longer than expected.

6. cindy whats that about “UCSB’s red=eye flight”?

hope the wahine come back way more impressive considering they had a bye week from a shoddy road trip. perhaps it should include some reserves brought in as if necessary like huff providing sturdy blocking and even some passi heavy punches or her jump serve to add to the attack.

Cindy, what I was referring to about Huff on the right is when/if Dave goes to the 6-2. It’s the right side and setter that get switched out. So that is why I was referring to Huff on the right and Nikki being taken out because she is the “opposite” from the setter. So the 6-2 would mean Nikki and Taylor swapping out with Kendra and Passi/Huff. That is the traditional 6-2, so unless dave is thinking of a non-traditional 6-2 that is what would happen, hence to my comment about Nikki being taken out of the back row for Kendra.

And for Huff, my observation is that, while yes they were short periods of time, during the first few tournaments when Passi was starting and they were losing to Arizona St/Oregon/UCLA and Huff came in, her presence made a difference in the third games or re-energized comebacks in those games, albeit they still lost. Huff in the lineup showed better chemistry.

And, I don’t think the Kendra/Passi combo has been proven that much either. In the short periods that Huff has played, in my opinion, has out played Passi, who has been very inconsistent. I’m not ragging on Passi, so if that is how this is being taken, that’s not my intent. Just stating my opinion on who I think would make a better combo in the 6-2 lineup.

I really think this freshman class is outstanding and will really be the foundation of the next couple years. They have all impressed me at some point in this season, and I have just not been impressed with Passi yet. I really do hope that she does impress the crap out of me this weekend, because that would mean the wahine are building and being better….which is what this is all about.

I hope Dave plays the modified “6-2” with KENDRA in the front and higgins in the back, OR a true 6-2 with KENDRA playing all the way around
