Himeji's gotta ditch the skirts. They aren't even Squorts any more. They aren't attractive in any way and make them look unserious and silly

Why NEC and Kurobe have these basketball-like courts, are they multi-functional. Idk if I'm remembering things but I could have sworn Kurobe even had basketball pots

Yes a lot (most?) of the venues are multi-purpose

Koga's attack efficiency is so high for an OH. She's never went below 30% so far. How I wish she's playing for Vakifbank replacing MBH.
Edit: She's also currently the top 3 blocker. Just wow

I just took a look, and they're definitely just like skirts, with too much flare at the hem. Definitely not like sports skorts at all
Why do some sports do this, give their female players skorts/skirts? Even in badminton some of the teams do it and the players have to wear tights inside for extra protection

You guys are right it's so unflattering. Victorina is heavy on their "feminine image" but does that even matter when the team itself is suffering. Really tough seeason for them. Their coach doesn't know what to do with their OHs.

Tomorrow will be the last game of the year after that they're celebrating with the All Stars in Aichi event. I hope VL does better. They should stop with the extremely long talks by Obayashi no one really cares for that segment even the players are seen yawning every time.

It's a little disappointing coverage tho ... a single AI net line camera that drifts back and forth with the ball

After being immersed in Uni-Ball this past week, I tuned into the last set and a half of the Denso Toyota match. It was a stark reminder of how ugly Japanese volleyball is with Big Foreign Swingers
I didn't see the SAGA collapse but followed the score a bit. They were up 22–16, maybe 18 (if livescore was accurate) in the 2nd set and lost it 22–25. I guess they just fell apart after that
Himeji lost -

Can they ditch the focus on image and focus on the performance instead? I can't take Tanaka Saki in those skirts, it doesn't really look professional at all
Is their coach new?
Himeji lost
Cause of those damn skirts

Is their coach new?
Kiyoshi Abo is new Head Coach this year. He was Himeji GM from their beginning, and was U-Squad Head Coach before that. He's been around a lot. Never really liked his quiet, unhappy way of being

Springs just released the video of the interview with the shots also of her teammates. You can see that many of them are crying. Also the thing I forgot to mention was that they said it was two years since she had been in the starting lineup. This was an incredible performance for her. She actually did really well then.
She is at 218 per league stats page.
230 is essentially 10x23 matches. League arbitrarily came up with this number at 2-3 matches per opponent a year in regular season (18-27 range) plus, playoffs (3-5) range. Say a team played in a 10 team league plus made playoffs you might have 21-23 games. In an 8 team league 24-27.
Right now 33 games (3 x against all teams) plus 3-4 playoffs.
My heart melted to the ground watching this. And I don't understand a single word of what she says. Still I can feel all the emotion, all the pain she has been going through in the last years and some kind of freedom for overcoming all this s**t. 😭😭😭❤️
