With KURT playing really well right now, it will be interesting to see when and how Coach HAMBLY plans 
to play Julia BLYASHOV who was originally slated to be the other OH starter alongside RUBIN,

Against Pepperdine Kurt had 18 kills hitting .536% according to the box score.  If accurate those are gaudy numbers.  My guess is Kurt starts against Texas.  If she struggles Blyashov comes in.

Offensive Analyst and Strategy Consultant?   I don't know if that counts as a coach.
