2026 Women’s Indoor Volleyball Thread

One obvious thing I noticed tonight was that there were more volleyball fans in our opener than USC Football fans had in theirs:)

Going back to the 5-1 is good but I don't know why you don't put Ella at setter and move Binney to backline defender. Ella is such a great blocker and server and Binney is a very good defender and a terrible blocker. It's basically a free point every rotation when she has to block the left side.

Blocking isn't the issue....Tempo is

I don’t know why coach is obsessed with trying to run a faster offense.  He won national championships with a slower offense because he has players who are superior and athletic enough to make it work.  The fast tempos are for inferior athletes who need the edge to beat the blocks.  Basically the faster offense is like a spread offense for volleyball.

Such a fitting way for the match to end...

Ella needs to start Binney can't block, plus Ella brings that fire the team needs

[Pocono longhorn]

Was saying that while they were getting buried by Nebraska. Ella brings the energy.

yep with amazing targets to get in the portal he decided to care more about players feelings. The development has not been the same since erik left

It's back to the drawing board for Elliot, like figure it out before conference.. Idk if he promised Binney something or what but the team just plays better when Ella is in.. No chemistry no connection

When does JE contract expire?

If this team makes it to the regional semifinals or better, I will be shocked.  Jerritt Elliott won back-to-back national championships and got complacent.  Mike White won back-to-back national championships and potentially upgraded both his coaching staff and the roster to go win another one.

Losing Eric Sullivan to the National Team hurt a lot.
