Slow down!!! In basketball the whistle and raised arm/fist are simultaneous, the signal for violation is often demonstrative.
In VB, it's slow and deliberate. Not demonstrative. Whistle, pause, award point signal, pause, violation signal.
Most basketball-to-volleyball officials start by doing the whistle and point signal simultaneously, followed immediately by the violation signal.
Slow down. Relax. In volleyball, you have a brief moment to quickly review what you just saw. Take advantage of it.
Come in humble and ask questions. You'll be fine. |
True -- but the whistle in
VB needs to be quicker than the whistle in BK. THat's why in BK the violation / foul signal can be simultaneous with the whistle -- the BK official has already paused. There should be a delay in BK before the specific fault is signalled -- just as in
VB.
