Okay here's one out of the blue:

Setter is front row:
Setter is attempting to set the ball. The setter misjudges the ball and expects it to be an overpass. Setter jumps up in an attempt to block. The timing is good, only that the ball is not going to penetrate the plane of the net. If the setter kept the blocking hands up the ball would have fallen on the back of the hands. The setter then uses a back hand style of setting with the fingers and thumbs, creating a dish with the back of the hands. With an instantaneous flick of the wrists, the setter manages to pull off a clean contact with both hands in equal motion but apart, basically back of the finger actions only from both hands. There is no prolong contact but a shifting movement while contacted to redirect the ball up. Fundamentally it is not an overhand set/pass, although a perfectly good set ball was accomplished. A teammate intercepts the ball with a successfully completed attack.

Is this a double contact violation?
