Felix, just to confuse things a little...if I am reading what you posted correctly, you are saying that a player may not cross the centerline extension and play back a ball that is still in the plane of the net/centerline extension outside the antenna? The way that I have had it interpreted to me is that both team's free space is playable area. Therefore a player could conceivably cross completely to the opponent's free space and play back a ball that is still in the plane of the centerline extension. I do not believe it is possible for it to be a playable area for one team and a non-playable area for the other.
BTW, congrats on being accepted into the MVC as an official.
