BIC is for Back Row QUick (why that shortens to BIC and not BARQ is beyond me though). It's an attack from the back row where the attacker must initiate their jump from beyond the 10 foot line (or that's a foul and loss of point if they touch or are inside the line)

technically it refers to such an attack from a quick set as opposed to a 'pipe' which is considered more of an attack from the center of the back-row that doesn't have to be a 'quick' set. I use BIC for all the back row type attacks from the middle. Our two players who we run the attack to are Morgan Chacon and Jaylen Jordan.

my opinion is run an extraordinary # of BICs compared to most teams, and it is a tougher play to score with in the women's game because of the jumping ability and 'surprise' element needed in the womens game for it to be succesful. Based on scouting us, I don't think opposing coaches are that surprised by how much we run it. Our two yound hitters Glenn & Jordan are still learning how to hit it and it shows in the execution and ability to - they don't have the ball control on the shot that Morgan Chacon has, Morgan is simply so experienced with her ball contral and able to adjust, which she did last night as the match went on

the BIC is more common in the Men's game, so I think part of it is TYler trying to run a more men's type game offense. DeFalco and Taylor Crabb were the best examples of BIC attackers in the men's sport.

I don't think we disguise it well enough to run it as much as we do. But that's my opinion

PINS: it refers to the hitters near the two antennas, i.e. the Pins. there are three, our two outside hitters, right now Morgan Chacon & Jordan Jaylen and our Opposite (Opp) Katie Kennedy. it's because their attacks (that aren't BICs lol) are mostly from the edge (or Pin) of the court. Kennedy attacks more from the right side (versus left side) typical for an Opposite and part of the term OPP or Opposite, and the other OHs from the left side, albeit technially both OH (Outside HItters) and Opp attack from either side, so they are all consider PINS or 'Pin' hitters.

PANCAKE is a dig where the player lays their hand flat to get under the ball like putting a spatula under a pancake in order to get to the ball and pop it up to keep a rally going.

Slide is that play where Callie goes to the right around the back of our setter and jumps off of one leg to get be able to attack from a higher vertical for more advantage on an attack. We don't run that with Kameron Bacon, probably because she's still learning it. Running a Slide and BIC simultaneous may be done to fool the opponents block as they have to chose between trying to block either play, so if we run that well and Meyer disguises which one we use, both can be effective.

OH1 & OH2 refer to our two outside hitters M. Chacon and Jordan, with Chacon probably the OH1 who typically gets the most sets, but that is pretty much moot as they both play every play from front and back-row (in part so we always have a back-row attacker), but sometimes an OH will be subbed out for a defensive specialist (DS) like Savana Chacon
