Both Hentz and Courtney were on the final training roster of 23 players. Hentz got cut before the VNL tournament in Italy in May. Courtney made it to VNL but didn't make the final 12 player roster. Apparently Karch thought Wong-Orantes was the best choice for libero. If USA wins gold you have to defer to Karch for making the correct roster choices. If USA doesn't win gold there will be plenty of criticism for his libero and setter choices.
Courtney and Stanford's Plummer are both considered "alternates" so if Covid hit the team in Tokyo they would be eligible to fly there and be on the team but that seems unlikely at this point.
