My take (from a new official -- now with one year experience):
1) It's a little over-rated, especially at the levels the new official works, and all the other things (e.g., ball handling, back-row attacks) the official needs to learn
2) Don't try to get all six players at first -- it's impossible. First work on just the setter. Then add the setter's opposite. Then add the libero. Try to track / remember Front or Back, and R, L or C.
3) Take a group of six new officials on the court, and show the most common receive formations based on the setter(s)'s locations.
