hope he gets coach of the year.

someone had to recruit Moni and he did, and he's coached Moni to be Moni

plus last night, that team had ZERO players starting that were AAs at their position last year; only Varga was an AA but at Opp.


has replaced 3 key starters (4 counting the different versions of MB) during the year as well.

somebody has developed this depth over the last 2 years, Bouchkov, Braun, Sani, Dickenson, Larson, Herschy were all on the team last year - and Knipe just plugged in from a team that lost 4 AAs from last year.

the development of every single player from last year to this year (not counting Moni) and from January to now is visible. you can see in every single player the improvement.

Yes, Moni makes opposing blocks confused as heck.

hope these guys can get a 2nd straight BWCT title in Hawaii, that would be sweet to go back to back.
I think Irvine has a big chance to beat Hawaii, either way. Also will be facing a UCSD team with Cherfan back, so will be a tougher UCSD team, assuming they even beat UCSB.
