Doesn’t the possibility for a girl to play both volleyball and basketball somewhat offset the split, especially at the A and AA or even the B level? Kola was a terrific volleyball player, and since there are a lot of complementary skills, it seems it would be beneficial.
I guess I'm a bit confused by this comment. Girls have always been able to play both sports. The GBB and VB seasons never ran concurrently. Up until 2002, GBB was in the fall, and VB was in the winter.
The season change may have had some effect on it. I think players improve in the offseason. You make yourself into a player during the offseason and then it's on the coach to put you to good use. Yes, the amount of gym time was affected by the change, but I don't think that affected their skill levels too much.
