Do you have the ability to share some of the division-wide statistics you are able to gather from Volleymetrics/NCAA? I would love to at least have access to basic info like Sideout and PS%; hitting efficiency (ideally in transition and in first ball situations), maybe good pass % and/or pass rating etc. for Division 2 (where many but not all teams have volleymetrics data). I imagine there are men's coaches or other levels who would love to see data for their level too, although I'm not as familiar with the amount of data they have available/recorded.

I am able to find my own team's numbers of course and a few of these are given as conference averages if I run a team report, but I don't know of a way to compare my team to nationwide averages (or maybe even more helpfully, tournament-level teams).

I've been really appreciating the posts since subscribing a couple months ago! Thanks!

That's a project I'd like to expand a little more this fall. There's got to be a better way to scrape for this data (anybody with a background in this let me know!) but honestly I just input everything by hand from VM into an Excel. I only did the D1 Power 5 to keep things somewhat consistently so I basically just took the totals from VM and transcribed them manually. Kind of a pain in the butt!
