tony, volleyball is not like other sports where you are responsible for a zone, or an area. In volleyball there are calls that either official can make - the net call on the spike is one of them. As the Referee, I would wait just a second or two to see if my umpire is going to call the net violation or not. If there is no call from my partner, I am going to whistle, signal the net violation and show the coach the number of the offending player.
Bottom line is that we make the correct call.
Felix, what you were told applies to NFHS as well as USAV and NCAA.
