facial hard shows teammate
There are some things that are really hard to see (on video), like facial expressions. That's important. That shows how he reacts. That shows what kind of teammate he is.
brought somebody substitute time
He's in there for his serving. Any time you substitute somebody for a serve, he's being brought in because of his serve.
basics care serve
Serve and pass. You take care of the basics and go from there.
core good returning wonderful
I think we're returning a very good core that had a wonderful season.
gained looked net
I think they looked through the net and gained a lot of confidence.
concern improve
I think we can improve overall, but we're doing pretty good. Our only concern is ourselves.
argument body clean endurance good moving outside power rack takes
Take your body weight, put it on a rack and power clean it 74 consecutive times, and that's a good argument for moving to the outside (hitter position). He did that. That's an endurance feat, of course, but it also takes a little strength, too.
bum deal paid tough
It's a bum deal for him, as it is for us. He's paid a lot of time. He's paid a lot of dues. It's a tough deal.
factors voted
Take a look at the standings. That's how I voted (numbers) 1 through 8. What other factors could there be?
coming helped huge lift played
Bender coming in was a huge lift for the team. He played well and helped us get going.
hurting landed smiling
He really landed hard. He's smiling now, but he's going to be hurting later.
seven trip
One trip probably would kill seven years of recruiting.
guess somebody thinks trying
I guess somebody thinks we're doing OK. It's one day at a time. We're trying to get a little better each day.
came needed nice turned
We needed to be balanced. Bender came in and did a nice job. I think he turned the tide.
