There was a beach vb match televised Tuesday on the PAC-12 network.  They interviewed coach Hambly, new head coach of the women's indoor team.  I like him.  He was humble, soft-spoken, and articulate. 

Hambly understands the only surprises next season will be surprises to the downside for Stanford fans.  With the way  expectations are now, there will be no surprises to the upside.  That's unfair.  Volleyball is a sport of momentum and getting hot at the right time.  There is also an element of the ball bouncing the right way at critical times in a match.  The more talented team does not always win.

I still don't know if Hodson is attending classes this spring.  There seems to be a self-imposed cone of silence around her.
