Was there any more to dive into? Is there anything we missed?

Yeah, I think it all needs to be constructed with your batting order in mind.

And even if that's just as simple as choosing who's your outside hitter one, who's outside two, middle one, middle two, I think making those decisions on offense is probably not as smart as basing it off of your serving.

And the same thing with the libero, deciding who the libero serves for, trying to decide when you're going to put in a serving specialist.

Again, if 57% of all rallies are directly decided by the serve, You know, server quality matters more than any of those other factors, and we're optimizing for the wrong thing.

You know, the biggest question I ask when I'm putting together my batting order is how can I get my six most effective servers in the game? And then how can I make sure that my top servers are serving the most? If your best server only serves in rotations that rarely become the extras, then you're wasting their impact.

But if you structure your lineups, your top servers are in high usage rotations.

yeah simple is better than complex huh very much so okay so going to uh the next topic you had was uh the idea of educating your setters decision making can you talk us through how you think about that

[chuckles]

So sometime around the turn of the century, rally scoring was impl- was implemented.

And really all that did is it made the duration of matches predictably shorter.

But the concept still remains the same.

You have to score when you're serving to accumulate points.

So when we look at it, the actual game score is made with two different kinds of points.

The real points are the points that you earn while serving, and side out points are the points that you win when you stop the other team's serve.

Like, what statistics, what analysis can they do to figure out what is the optimal rotation to start in? What do they wanna look at?
