wrong reference to the question...
"Back-row Player Action: 59. When a back-row player, whose hands are above the height of the net, makes contact with the ball, it is considered an illegal block."
This is True - a back-row player may not participate in nor attempt a block. Therefore, when the back-row player, whose hands are above the height of the net, makes contact with the ball it is an illegal back-row block per 9-5-5 (sorry about the incorrect reference to 9-5-4 - that is what NF had as the rule reference on the proofing copy of Part I).
