Baird is not good at passing and seems to be regressing.  Hambly needs to rearrange the serve receive rotation so Baird is not passing.  As long as Baird receives serve Stanford will not make a final four.   Hambly should try something this season.  He could try Baird at OPP.  He could go to a two-person serve receive.  Anything will be better than Baird handling the first touch on the serve.  He could at least take Baird out of the three rotations in the back row.

Baird also should not be serving.  She misses serves at the wrong time.  There are critical times when a player should recognize the serve must go in the court.  Baird doesn't seem to be cognizant of that.

I've always supported Hambly.  I'm starting to have doubts.  Much of the problem is the players, highly ranked at the prep level, are turning out to be extremely deficient in some areas and have no apparent ability to reduce their unforced errors.  Also part of the problem is Hambly doesn't seem to be helping these players get better.  I'm talking about individual skills.  I understand there are players out of the lineup.

12 service errors in three sets

Oglivie had a better hitting percentage and more block assists than Baird, Francis, and Campbell. 

Oglivie had zero service errors (one service ace).  Campbell 4 service errors, Baird 3 service errors, Francis 2 service errors.
