D1.ticker/Connect's Eargle visits with VolleyballMag.com's Publisher/Editor Feinswog to discuss the rise of volleyball. Feinswog: "If you follow college basketball, every once and a while there are a couple of freshmen who can really help out. In our sport, it seems like all the kids coming out of high school and club are ready to go. They understand the game, they are physically ready to go, they are mature, and that's a credit to the high school and club systems throughout the country that are producing a ton of really good players." On the growth of the sport, Feinswog: "We've had attendance records set this year, but the smaller schools are packing it in and selling out. ... the two most popular and fastest growing sports in America are men's lacrosse and women's volleyball... our sport is fun. It's not like basketball or football where you feel like you have to wash your hands because of what it is." Feinswog also offers his thoughts on the coaching hot seat, biggest winners this season and more. (link)
