| No offense to Will, who is an excellent blocker and has improved his spike even over the last week, but Edub is a better all-around player. Particularly in the areas of finishing with both hands, serving, and setting Edub is better. Like I said, no offense to Will, who keeps getting better, but for ... |

Ideally sets come from a 45-degree angle, or down the net, but the pirouette play eliminates that need. "G... |

| Point Guard-Generally smaller players without the height to be big hitters, a point guard distributes the ball, a la basketball. Their job, as the editor understands it, is to set, pass to another setter, and dig spikes in the back row. A point guard must have a deep understanding of the game, the t... |

| I don't speak for Chief, but my sense of it is that he is fine with people playing as long as it is legal and he isn't involved. Management has been getting on him lately, so as long as he has plausible deniability (think ol' Slick Willie), it's all good. Good to have the new blood! |

| Does this mean that Jimback is off the Vet Squad? If so, who is his replacement in the top four? How many times has Jimback threatened to retire anyway? If a Jimback falls in the forest (retires) and no one hears it, does it make a sound (or a wave in the Obstacle)? |
