For someone new to Volleyball, I think they need to understand the strategies of serve receive.
If you understand why they are trying to hide the server, (to make certain she does not get first contact and so she can get to her assigned area) then it is easier to understand the typical shifts and patterns that teams use.
Then understand "who are my next 3?", and server and opposite make more sense as tools to spot players out of position.
I also agree it isn't something a new to volleyball official is going to call. Get the big things right, net call and centerline, and manage subs/table/coaches and a new official is doing great.
