I don't know that that exactly works in my head, but it works enough. Like I said, it usually takes me til mid-season to re-recognize the patterns and understand the rotations again.
OK, follow up question:
I don't understand this part. Why can't the L stay on and serve? I know we see L serving all the time, so what is the rule that applies here?
(I really should know all this, as my capstone coaching course was volleyball, but it was also 30 years ago)
So the L comes off for the MB, who is swapped for 16, and 16 goes in to serve in the MB slot. And they are all hanging out at the sideline so the table can record/approve the sub?
I may have to watch a replay and get some screenshots. I *think* this is what I saw:
Several times today, the libero would come to the sideline and would be met by 16 and a big (55?), then 16 would come on, and the L and 55 would go to the bench.
Well, that explains why it’s hard to identify.
Can someone explain the weird 2-for-1 sub w/ the libero and a big/little? Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
Bill is their stats guy and typically doesn't offer up opinion, only rankings. I'm curious if there was some metric showing aggy to be very strong that he's basing that on.
Am I off base here? Or is this not accurate?
McLaren is clear and away for the championship.
Piastri has just about clinched his title.
Lando's got 2nd just about clinched.
Nothing they did yesterday affected any of those things.
Yeah, I looked it up in the box score play-by-play and saw the same thing. Today is the 1st time I've put eyes on the team this season, and it usually takes me til halfway through conference play to figure out who/where everyone is and understand the rotations. Thought it was odd that the starting S was off the floor for long stretches.
btw- I've been watching a shitload of college volleyball for the last 15 years or so. I can't even remember the last foot fault I saw, and Stanford had THREE today. wild.
