Re: 2006 Boilermaker red advantage?

I'm going to second D.J. on this one. It was pretty tricky for volunteers to be retrieving balls so quickly - especially those that rolled out of the arena behind the blue side. With all of the people queued up and the countless folks behind the barrier simply watching the game, it was pretty common to see crew members weaving through the crowd after a stray ball or trying to get the attention of someone who had a ball fly into their lap.

After the first 12-15 matches though, I'd say that any advantage that may have existed was eliminated since fewer crew members were needed to organize the queueing positions and more were able to retrieve the balls.
