Another first contact "double" situation.
I worked as a LJ in a D1 match last night. There was a play that generated a lot of discussion. Team A attacks the ball and player B1 dives toward the net and successfully "pancakes" the ball, keeping it off the floor. The ball bounces away from the net and hits B1's foot and then passes directly over the net, landing inbounds on Team A's side of the court.
The ball obviously contacts B1 twice, but B1 did not make a separate attempt to play the ball. Both contacts were part of B1's initial dive.
Is this a double?
