Good God, man, at least read the rest of the paragraph before
interjecting! I clearly say that arguments can be made for both styles:
either do not worry about balanced attacks a la WI of 80s and just play
the best 4/5 bowlers you have, or throw in a spinner or two. Many
examples can be found of both approaches.

The question really is whether Lloyd would have played a world class
spinner if he had one rather than another fast bowler. Obviously I do
not know the answer but the fact is that Lloyd and Richards did not
have that option.

More pertinently, would this tactic of playing four of five fast
bowlers work NOW. IMHO the answer is negative. I think that batsmen
have become better and more used to playing fast bowling.  This is why
the spinner is making a comeback. Many players now play the quickies
well and very very few play the spinner correctly. I am really looking
forward to the WI/Aus series where we will find out if the Aussies have
become better at playing fast bowlers.  And then of course the Pak/WI
series should settle some more of the issues.

The only reason I brought it up was because of a vb.legend that I heard;
sorry, don't know any names, but if others can provide, please do.

High level (olympic?) game - digger shoots a low pass to the outside
(not on purpose, just one of those things we all know and love); the
setter takes after the ball on a low, fast dive.  Setter pops the ball
up with a palm-down set (fully extended over the floor - a *real*
dive) from a distance of about 10 inches off the floor.  Set is perfect,
outside hitter slams it home while the other team is still standing
around with their mouths open that the setter managed to get the ball
up at all.

I happen to have some really lousy passers on my team - and this kind
of thing is nice to have in your back pocket if you really need it.

Mister Hanan, any idea?)

slightly re-arranged.  The current arrangement is as follows:

Burt DeGroot Division : Pepperdine, UCLA, Cal State Northridge,

Tom (and others who have posted about these camps),

I don't know what your personal experiences with ASF have been,
but I thought I should let people know that there is a boycott
of ASF events going on by players in the Bay Area.  The man who
owns and operates ASF, Steve Suttich, has been under fire of late for
mistreating employees.  He is often late in paying his staff and coaches,
if they get paid at all.  My doubles partner has been screwed by him a
couple of times.

My personal experiences are limited to having been ripped off of $18
for a tournament that was cancelled, yet I never got a refund or credit.

I have to admit that I don't know much more about the extent of the
accusations against Steve, nor if there is an official boycott
proposal/solution.  I only know that I have been asked not to patronize
ASF events until his business practices improve.

This past summer his doubles tournaments were very poorly attended
because of the boycott (7 or 8 teams per division typically).

I have heard good things about these camps.  They're a very good workout.
I've also heard that Craig Buck and Eric Sato show up for, at the most,
an hour of the whole weekend.  

So, ask around.  I'm not sure the camps are really worth antagonizing
your fellow players.  I also believe Steve Suttich needs to improve
his organization.  He knows his volleyball, but he isn't much of a
businessman.

Sure.  This means that when your team is serving, a front row player can
hold the net down so that the serve can have a lower trajectory.  Combined
with a good jump serve, the impact of this new rule will be devastating.
(Considering this fact, it seems only fair to allow the receiving team to
use their knees to pass the ball.)  This will probably make it quite easy
to finish games quickly, so all this rally-scoring business to make matches
fit within TV time slots will be unnecessary.

I heard Sunderland say that anyone is eligible to block, so you could

Hmmm.... At the risk of re-starting that age old "rally scoring" thread.
(BTW, I am against rally scoring).  This seems like the best compromise
I've seen yet.  It attempts to make the length of the game semi-predictable
and still requires a team to serve to win the game.  The team that's behind
can serve, hit and block aggressively without fear of losing when they have
earned the serve.  I assume there must be some sort of point cap to prevent
37-35 games.  Very thought provoking!!

	Generally we either stick with the same play, go completely verbal, or a 
mixture of the two.

	When using a sideout offense, (Tandem, left/right crosses etc) you stay
with those hits for every rally, note that these offenses really require 
almost perfect passing & digging.

	Occassionaly if our passers arent passing perfectly, we'll use a '31 if
it's a good pass, 4 if not.' type of strategy with the setter & hitter saying
yes or no as the pass goes.

	Or like in a swing offense your middle hitter is always hitting a 1 if
he/she doesnt call anything else (B or a C), the play set hits the next 
quickest hit generally a 2, or a D, and the outside hitter either always has
a 4 unless he/she calls a 5 at the beginning or audibly calls a flair on the
pass.

	If anyone sees any major holes/problems with this please let me know :)
