This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

McLaughlin is awesome by Flanner89

He has such a knack for the game. He finds volleyball players that can deliver, then puts them in the position to use their strengths, then coaches them up. I saw him at a USAV club camp instantly recognize the players that can deliver results even though they don't jump out at other people with their appearance. I had the benefit of seeing the players over several years, yet he recognized the real players within a few minutes. Blew my mind. I'd never seen another coach come close to doing that.
I absolutely love that the pre-season ACC favorite UNC team fell so far. They just recruit by players measurables: height & block touch. UNC has some girls that are just tall but do not have any volleyball skill or IQ.
ND recruits volleyball players. UNC recruits height. So, so, so glad to beat a team like that.
