美国排协4月1日宣布Alan Knipe为这一奥运周期的男排国家队主教练。

Alan Knipe现为Long Beach State University男排队的教练，当年David Lee和Scott Touzinsky就在他麾下打球。Knipe还一直协助美国排协培养年轻队员，近年带队参加了大运会和泛美杯。

看来{-屏-|-蔽-}工作会比较顺利。我就广播一下，具体可看官方消息：

USA Volleyball has announced that Long Beach State Men’s Head Coach Alan Knipe will be the new U.S. Men’s National Team head coach for the 2009-2012 Olympic quadrennial.

Knipe, 40, will take a leave of absence from Long Beach State, where he has been the head coach for the past nine years. Two of Knipe’s former players – David Lee and Scott Touzinsky – were members of the U.S. Men’s Olympic Volleyball Team that won the gold medal in 2008 in Beijing. Knipe was an assistant coach when U.S. Team Captain Tom Hoff played at Long Beach State.

“Anyone who gets involved with volleyball sets their sights on being involved with the Olympic team,” Knipe said. “I don’t think that changes from your playing days to your coaching days.

“I would not have been able to take this position if I did not work at Long Beach State. They were great to work with in making this happen and giving me a leave of absence.”

Knipe takes over for Hugh McCutcheon, who guided the U.S. Men’s Team to victories at the 2008 FIVB World League and the Beijing Olympics. McCutcheon took over the U.S. Women’s Team in January.

“I am very excited to have Alan join the USA Volleyball staff and lead our men’s team toward London in 2012. This is a very big hire,” USA Volleyball CEO Doug Beal said. “His experience and success with USAV’s national and high performance programs have been outstanding. I look for him to continue the momentum the U.S. men built in 2008.”

“I think Alan will do a great job continuing the success of the men’s program,” McCutcheon said. “He’s an excellent coach with a lot of collegiate experience that will allow a seamless and successful transition into the international arena.”

Knipe said the support he has received from former U.S. men’s team coaches was a big reason he took the position.

Alan Knipe, back row left, poses with the 2008 U.S. Men's Pan American Cup team.“The U.S. Men's National Team has an amazing fraternity of former coaches that have always been willing to help the current staff. I’ve spoken to a number of the former coaches and the guys who have been involved in previous years,” Knipe said. “They have offered their support during the transition and throughout the quad. I feel fortunate to have so many valuable resources willing to help continue the wonderful tradition that has been cultivated over many years."

Knipe’s first competition with the U.S. Men will be the Pan American Cup on June 1-7 in Colima, Mexico. The team will begin FIVB World League play on June 13-14 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Knipe has a long relationship with USA Volleyball. Most recently, he served as the head coach for the U.S. Men's National Team at the 2008 Pan America Cup in Winnipeg, Canada, where it won a gold medal.

He was the head coach for the U.S. Men’s Team that won a bronze medal at the 2007 World University Games in Thailand.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to work with these great athletes. There is a very good and successful group coming back from the Olympics,” Knipe said. “A lot of these guys have a lot of great volleyball left in them. Plus, I worked with many of the younger players during the past two summers and they are a nice group."

Knipe has run the Southern California tryouts for USA Volleyball’s high performance department since 1999. He was an assistant coach for the U.S. Boys’ Youth National Team in 1999 and has helped at high performance camps in other years.

Knipe also played on the U.S. National Team in 1992-93 and competed at World League.

Knipe is in his 17th year with the 49ers men's volleyball program, including three years as a player (1990-92) and five years as an assistant (1996-2000). Long Beach State is ranked seventh in the most recent Bison/AVCA Division I-II Men's Coaches Top 15 Poll

In his nine seasons as the head coach of the Long Beach State, Knipe has led the 49ers to one NCAA final (2004) and one semifinal appearance (2008) along with six other postseason appearances in nine years. He earned 2008 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Coach of the Year honors and was also named 2008 Volleyball Magazine Coach of the Year as Long Beach State advanced to the NCAA semifinals behind AVCA co-Player of the Year Paul Lotman.

Knipe was named the 2004 AVCA National Coach of the Year when he guided his squad to an appearance in the NCAA Championship match, where it fell to BYU.

In the 1994 and 1995 seasons, Knipe served as the head men's volleyball coach at Golden West College. In his second season, the Rustlers won the California State JC title and Knipe was named California State Coach of the Year.

Knipe played at Long Beach State from 1990-92, winning the NCAA Championship in 1991 and being named All-America in 1992. Knipe graduated from Long Beach State in 1992 with a degree in communications.

Knipe played on the Bud Light 4-Man Pro Beach Volleyball Tour and has won seven USA Volleyball National Open Championships with Team Paul Mitchell.

In 1995, Knipe played for Spoleto in the Italian Pro League and in 1996 he played for the Zellik Club in Belgium.

A graduate of Huntington Beach's Marina High School in 1987, Knipe spent one year at Orange Coast College before transferring to Long Beach State.

Knipe lives in Huntington Beach, Calif., with his wife, Jennifer, and their two sons, Aidan and Evan. The U.S. Men’s Volleyball Team trains at the American Sports Centers in Anaheim, Calif.

过去九个赛季都在Long Beach State执教，今年只有40岁。美国夺取北京奥运金牌的两位替补球员David Lee和Scott Touzinsky都曾经在他手下打球，而Tom Hoff当年在这支球队效力时，他也是助理教练。

不曉得少了BALL的美國隊會是什麼風貌

sheng319 · 发表于 2009-4-3 11:01:27

看了两场Fakel的比赛，Hansen很bh的说。居然能把一支主攻和接应都不会砸高球的队带到常规赛第一。Hansen在国家队的时候和队友也相处得很好，完全能接球球的班，比Suxho强多了。

倒是Rooney还是没什么进步，击球点依然在身后。可惜了那么好的先天条件。美国队缺的是四号位的调整攻，对他的期望很高的。

MichaelChan · 发表于 2009-4-3 11:03:38

Rooney今年在俱乐部受过伤，但对Fakel的战绩影响不大。
他这几年的表现真的颇让人失望，让人看不到太多进步...

希望能夠繼續維持住美國隊的霸業。

08年美国队的黄金一代，首发中只有Lee到2012年还是当打之年。Ball, Stanley, Gardner, Lambourne肯定去不了伦敦了。Millar, Priddy, Salmon还有可能，但状态肯定下滑。

现在美国队新的人选里，主攻，副攻，二传比较乐观，接应和自由人吃紧。今年调整年，如果都用80后的话，大致会排出这样一个阵容（括号内为替补）：

二传：Hansen (Johnathan Winder)
主攻：Rooney, Touzinsky (Jayson Jablonsky, Matt Anderson)
副攻：Lee, Andy Hein或Delano Thomas
接应：Evan Patak (Billings)
自由人： Alfie Reft

我觉得美国队今后还将是最顶尖的三支球队之一，另两支是巴西和俄罗斯。不过如果没有Priddy，拿世界冠军是不可能了。

MichaelChan · 发表于 2009-4-3 12:06:47

Stanley也才30出头而已，要他支撑多一个奥运周期是为难他，尤其是他这样打身体的接应，不过我认为也不是不可行。
尤其是美国在01到08年都没有一个可看的替补接应。也许在等待一个新人冒头？
Billings是完全不行的。
Thomas是那个黑人副攻吧，在欧冠有见到他，可惜只是替补。

另外，我听说Matt Anderson是相当不错的，还有Evan Patak在球迷口中也是口碑颇佳？

sheng319 · 发表于 2009-4-3 14:19:02

对，Thomas就是那个黑人，McCutcheon的重点培养对象之一。去年是他和Touzinsky在竞争最后一个奥运名额。去年WL两场客场对保加利亚他是首发，表现很华丽。进攻失配，拦网被炸手，发球失误。不过那时他刚知道去不了奥运会，情绪肯定受影响（Touzinsky那两场就很bh）。平时给那两个发菜球的主力副攻替补发球，还是挺有威胁的，就是失误多了点。

Matt Anderson去年带领Penn State University夺得了NCAA的冠军。我在电视上看了半决赛和决赛，决赛水平和中国联赛的决赛差不多吧。身高210cm的巨无霸，高点强攻很强大，六号位快球线路变化很多，几乎每打必中（部分原因是对面的副攻很差劲）。一传需要保护，不过山花烂漫之后马上能将调整攻打死，所以也不亏。Karch Kiraly说他比当年的Rooney球感还要好。Anderson本赛季本来应该在念大四，现已辍学在韩国现代队打球（Rooney以前在的那个队）。又有天赋，人品球品都不错（邻家男孩型），希望吸取Rooney的教训，早日把潜力化为实力。我很看好Anderson成为美国队伦敦奥运会最年轻的首发。

没看过Patak打球，只是知道美国二队的比赛他经常是主力。怎么招也比Billings强。
