Heart to heart talk with Brian Gimmilaro (Volleymag.com), interesting reading. LBSU, according to Brian, has several injuries to key players.

Hi Cindy,

Great article this morning.

Shoji mentioned “solidifying a line up” but how does he do that with the rotating DS on the trips? It appeared that Smith had taken that first DS role last week and now she doesn’t travel?

I guess they are all basically interchangeable and gives the Cali girls a chance to see family and friends.

I am hopeful that Kalei is healthy to play front row. I would love to see this lineup:

LS Greeley and Mitchem
M Maglio and Bush/Castillo
Opp Taylor
L Kahakai
S Iosia

DS Smith

I would like DS to ride this horse as I think that this is the best option for rest of season and hopefully into the playoffs.

Great to hear that the possibility of Greeley playing up front in the “near” future. Hope Mitchem is taking Chris’ advice to swing away at every opportunity instead of tipping. She will be surprised how many balls she will put down. When wahines play the higher bracket teams, those tips are not going to work. So swing away Annie, you got to nothing to lose as your senior year is quickly coming to the end. The team desperately needs another terminator at the pin – and the wahines have everything to gain! Go out swinging hard!

I’ve never believed in cortisone shots because it masks the condition of the injury. (Of course she is pain free but is the injury healed?)

Giving equal travel time to each DS is considerate but wholly inefficient. If they were all equal in skill it would be understandable but that is not the case; especially with a libero whose passing is suspect.

Taking Ross, as an alternate OH, is well intended but misguided. The problem is the passing (first touch), which will impact all OHs. It makes more sense to take another DS (in light of the libero’s inconsistency).

5. If Castillo is traveling, and Shoji is only taking 14 like the previous trips, Anderson isn’t going. As Cindy said, it’s Ross and Guinasso in the DS roles.

1. Koelsch
2. Granato
3. Burns
4. Higgins
5. Mitchem
6. Sibley
7. Iosia
8. Greeley
9. Guinasso
10. Taylor
11. Kahakai
12. Castillo
13. Maglio
14. Ross
