20. yes, a bit of an overstatement that she’s sad. so are the current Wahine.
think people are over thinking the 1-2 pairs.
the rule is that they can only move up or down one flight. That’s so teams don’t ‘sacrifice’ their weaker players at the top and game the system by putting the best players at the bottom.
But since this year’s NCAA championship does not have a pairs competition the important thing is the team record.
I would give Taylor and Schreiber a break. New pairing still working on their chemistry. and going against the other team’s beat pair.

I loved Robyn but it’s not the end of the world. UH will be to find someone just as good maybe even better.

Yup…that does actually look really sad. 🙁 ugh….did I say how much Robyn leaving sucks? I did? Oh….well….Robyn leaving sucks. Honestly, I’m actually really surprised how bummed out I am by it. I’m like really, really bummed about it.

Ok. I’ll shut up already.

🙁

I guess taking it hard is an overstatement. Hopefully one of the first things done was reassuring recruits

#12, Setaone, where are seeing that Norene is taking Robyn’s departure hard?

I mean, I’m sure she is, but where are you seeing it.

And I would not blame her. Norene is exactly like Robyn coming out of high school. She could be the next 3 time Olympic setter. I’m sure Robyn being her coach played a factor in her decision, even if just a small factor.

Losing Robyn sucks….it just does. 🙁

Thanks for that story Cindy. That made me chuckle. I am sure Robyn is more famous internationally than we here in Hawaii notice. Losing Robyn sucks. Yes, I said it again because it warrants it. 🙁

Honestly, I almost feel that being the #1 pair is like a sacrificial lamb. And I mean that in a way because USC’s pair is basically unbeatable. That #1 pair will beat every #1 pair they play this season. So, strategically, why not focus on pairs #2-5? If we win those 4 pairs, so what if we lose #1. We could win a national championship even if we lose the #1 pairings.

Take for example, Nikki and Lara could not beat USC’s #2 pair and Emily and Katie could not beat USC’s #1 pair. But when they were switched, Emily and Katie beat USC’s #2 pair, which gave the team a 3-2 loss vs a 4-1 loss. So, why not just sacrifice the #1 pairing and focus on winning #2-4? At least while Claes and Hughes are together anyway.

Put Emily and Katie #2
Put Nikki and Lara #3…so on and so forth. Don’t know who he would put as the “sacrificial #1” though.

Please don’t think I’m dissing anyone or just dumping, I’m just thinking strategically. 🙂 Maybe it’s not a “fair” way to approach it? Maybe it’s taking away the confidence and the competitiveness of the student athletes. I don’t know. Just throwing it out there.
