Toolman, excellent post! You have done a great job of comparing the two sports.
vbscrub, the one major difference between volleyball and almost any other sport is that volleyball judges the legality or illegality of every contact with the ball. Unlike most other sports, there is a lot of leeway as to what is judged to be legal, what is considered marginal, and what is considered to be illegal. Since each contact is judgment, it causes greater opportunities for disagreement between coaches and officials on ball-handling calls.
