The new head coach of the Australian men’s volleyball team, Mark Lebedew, publicly reveals his thoughts on the NEW scoring system by the FIVB to be tested at the 2017 Men’s and Women’s Under 23 World Championship later this year.

We call it THE 7/15 meaning it’s a best of 7 match and each set is to 15 points.

“Volleyball is already attractive. This will not make volleyball more attractive. Only shorter. The last time when we made volleyball shorter did we get more TV? I think not. And we kept adding things to the game to make it longer again. If we spent more time talking about what an incredible spectacle volleyball is maybe we wouldn’t keep having these conversations.

If we spent time educating people about how great volleyball is for example by using knowledgeable commentators maybe we would have more TV.” -Coach Lebedew

We totally agree with the last line and that is to hire commentators WHO TRULY AND DEEPLY know the sport of volleyball.

THOUGHTS?
