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.
We're rounding into form. We're getting better each day.
block enjoy happy prepare rest weekend
Our block is getting better, but as coaches, we can never be happy or satisfied. We are just going to enjoy the rest of the weekend and prepare for USC.
ball balls blocked couple everybody good hitters liked mistakes moments outside played stayed team
I think everybody played well. We had a couple of moments when we made mistakes we wouldn't have liked to have made. But we distributed the ball well, the outside hitters hit respectably, we blocked some balls and played some good team defense. We stayed pretty focused, I thought.
concern improve
I think we can improve overall, but we're doing pretty good. Our only concern is ourselves.
gained looked net
I think they looked through the net and gained a lot of confidence.
depends pop saw
It all depends on the MRI. I saw him pop it back in.
jump serves serving
Jump serves are good, but only if you keep them in play. No. 1 is a serving error. There's nothing worse.
hung pulled winning wonderful
That was huge, winning that one. It was wonderful that they hung in and pulled it out.
aggressive brian fought game looked
I thought we got emotionally drained. I looked up at Brian (Beckwith) in Game 3, and he looked really drawn. Usually, he's aggressive out there. We fought through that.
core good returning wonderful
I think we're returning a very good core that had a wonderful season.
moment night played sure whether winning worrying
We played in the moment all night long. That was the key. We didn't play worrying about whether we were winning or losing. I'm pretty sure that's the way to do it.
guy passing reason serving somebody struggling team
Usually the reason somebody makes a serving substitution is because the other guy is struggling or the other team is passing him well. You want some contrasts (in the serves).
attention concerned pay second
We're not too concerned about (the polls) right now. We're second in the league, which is what I pay attention to.
