Judgment call. Did the player make "intentional contact"? And did it interfere with an attempt to play the ball.

See rule 9-6-7.d.2.

Most of the time, it won't be an issue with an attack which goes into the net - the attack is the third hit and there can be no interference with an attempt to play the ball as the attacking team has no more hits left. Then, the only question
is whether the "force of the ball push(ed) the net or net cables into the player". If so, no violation. If not, net violation on defensive player. Rule 9-6-7.a.

If the attacking team still has a hit left, then it's a judgment call as to whether the contact was intentional and whether it interfered with an attempt to play the ball.
