rev, it is completely possible to go under the net at the edge of the court near the centerline and not touch the opponent's court or sideline. Stand at the net near either sideline, then step under the net to the out-of-bounds area on the other side of the net. That is what is being described.
The original discussion is based on International and USA Volleyball rules that allow what is called "International Pursuit" or just plain "Pursuit". There has to be at least 2 meters of unobstructed area between the pole on the bench side and the scorer's table and at least 2 meters of unobstructed area behind the referee's stand for pursuit to be a part of the game. If there is not 2 meters clearance on both sides of the court, it is not used.
Hope that clears things up for you.
