I haven’t heard of this one. I know if he had stepped of the floor you could get him for that. I can't find it in the rule book. Has anyone else heard of this rule?
No. This sounds like maybe it's an extreme misinterpretation of the emphasis on keeping players in their bench area (RE: a player leaves the bench area to go to the end of the gym to get a drink from the fountain).

There's an old volleyball rule about water not being on the floor during time-outs, but even that one was changed to say, "water spilled on the floor during a time out must be cleaned up before the time out ends." Maybe he's harking back to that old one.
