I watched Foluke-led USA sweep China in a tightly contested match. The head coach of China is Lang Ping. Back in the day she was considered by many to be the most popular athlete in China and was known as the Iron Hammer.
Her daughter is Lydia Bai who played for Stanford. One time I was at a club tournament watching a team with Bai and Haley Spelman. By happenstance Lang Ping sat down next to me and started shouting out instructions to Lydia in Chinese. I didn't understand any of it. I could tell from Lydia's demeanor, her attitude was "I know what I'm doing; I don't need any instruction from you".
Bai was not as good a baller as her mother and never played VB professionally. She currently is an executive at a South Bay company dealing with Machine Learning.
