Surely one of the most important factors in determining the best offense for any team is the players themselves. Experience, ball-handling ability, height, and speed must all be considered.
The Mexicans have done a wonderful job of adapting their offense to their available personnel. With almost all of their spikers under 6 feet they have developed an attack based on speed, agility, and superb ball-handling skill, which came within two disputed points of beating the great U.S. Pan-American Champions of 1955. To attempt to use the U.S. power system would have been suicidal. On the other hand, it would be just as futile to use the Mexican style of play with spikers like Al Kuhn, Bill Olsson, John Gay, and Mike O'Hara.
