Japan - V.Premier League 2014-2015

Quote from vyz

is this most scorer MB record?

Possibly could be for the women's game.

Takeshita has become a commentator, so I guess she chooses working in media over coaching.

I remember Ravva scoring 35 points in the CL game against Novara

Her husband is a professional baseball player, so coaching is probably not an option for her right now.

Is that not what Kumi Nakada coach of Hisamitsu did? I definitely remember her commentating on matches in 2008.

As of now coaching is not in the picture but we can`t say it for sure she won`t become a coach ever I presume.
Since you bring the name Kumi Nakada and we are talking about Takeshita, how about comparing these two setters from different era? Unfortunately I was just a baby when Nakada-san was playing and the standards of volleyball have sure changed thats why I would like to hear some opinions from experienced volleyball fans

Finished with the first pass through of the three that the V-League will do.
Okayama and Hisamitsu look to be the class of the league. NEC probably will be the darkhorse.
Toray just looks bad. Saori Kimura probably felt that by coming back Toray will get back to a championship level. They are nowhere close to that right now. Considering that they have 4 national team players Nakamichi, Kimura, Takada and Sakoda it is pretty telling how bad the national team is.
Mia Jerkov is a scoring machine for Denso, but the don't have much after her.
