Tempo is an issue too (lots of issue right now), but did you watch last game again Louisville? They attacked Binney every single time she was blocking on the left. To the point that the commentators were talking about how big an issue having the "undersized" Binney blocking. 

The concerning part right now is Elliot and the staff are either stubborn or slow to understand the makeup of this team. They better figure this out or this season will be a waste. 

Any coach worth a salt is going to attack Bonney when she’s front row.  That’s pretty much an easy point for the elite hitters they have.  

It’s what Kentucky did when they beat Texas for the championship a few years ago, they punished setter Jhenna Gabriel because she couldn’t jump high enough to deter the shots.

I love Binney largely because I'm a guy and she is extremely cute but she much better suited as a situational sub then as a full time starter

Currently losing to SMU,  It's going to be a long season, probably will barely make the tournament and bow out fairly quickly unless they drastically improve.  It was a good run.

 Horns lose to SMU IN 5 sets fall to 3-4 on the season

Every time the camera panned to Elliot he looked like he wished that he was anywhere else.

How many times do you ever see him actually coaching in match?? Time to retire him!

Elliot plays Ella for 1/3 of the rotations tonight against SMU and she won most of her point opportunities while Binney was the opposite. Watching teams constantly attack her is getting tiresome. They're going to point to the 2 blocks she had as progress but it really isn't. She doesn't get the height to get tips and stuffs that Ella does. Not to mention the leadership and fire Ella brings to her teammates. We see it on the TV screen. How doesn't he see this?

It's taking way too long to see the obvious for Elliot. How many more losses is it going to take?

At this rate, we won't make the tournament. We have to figure it out in the next 2-3 weeks or this season will be lost. The SEC is loaded with top teams. We not going to make the tournament with 10+ losses.

He’s losing me with this like his team is struggling specially the setter and stays seated. 

[Bevohorns]

This year feels like a huge roster mismanagement without using the portal there’s not one setter (qb) that can win the starting position and none of the hitters can get consistent hittable balls. Our hitters played great yesterday and our setter held us back this should have not gone 5 if we had a good setter. If our players aren’t getting developed assistant coaching staff needs changing
