The point is to get it right, not necessarily to get it done early.

That is not necessarily a good thing and not necessarily a bad thing at this point of the season. There is a danger of a guy getting cranked up for a competition that is going to be more intense. But I don't feel there is any benefit for it, no.

Not necessarily. He does have to get it surgically repaired, and he is going to get it done rather quickly. We'll see how quickly he can come back.

At this point, I'm really not going to worry about it. The only thing I can do is go out and hit the ball and catch the ball and throw the ball. If something happens, it happens. I'll pack up and go.

It's a little too early to say anything. It's not necessarily a trend. Things fluctuate from year to year and from month to month. You could have a high month in January, and it could even out pretty quickly.

We came out really flat and they got a quick early lead on us. They're just kind of relentless. They don't let the ball hit the ground. They play some good team volleyball.
