READERS RESPOND

Multiple readers have responded to T.R.’s proposal to replace instant replay with an Honor System, and all have been positive. [My advice is to quit while you’re ahead, but never the less] T.R. elaborates: Like you, J.T., I have always considered volleyball to be the ultimate game, a breath of fresh air in sports, the opposite of the commercialized or business-ized evolution of almost all other sports.  The adage “it’s not whether you win or lose but rather how you play the game” applies here, and the honor system could become a competitive advantage for the best teams and coaches, elevating v-ball even more by moving away from the undesirable trends in other sports, with the players themselves protecting the integrity of the game.  I enjoy the blog; Keep up the good work!
