flsh224, you did not specify under which rules set the situation occurs, but it appears that it was using high school rules.

Once the referee blew the whistle for the serve, no other action (TO, substitution, request for line-up check) could take place. Since it seems as though the umpire did not blow the whistle for a substitution (you did not indicate whether that happened or not) prior to the referee's whistle for serve, the sub should have been denied (the umpire should have used the "push-back" motion to indicate that the sub request was too late) and the five second count should have continued until it expired at which time the referee should have blown the whistle, indicated the five-second violation and shown the LOR point for Team B. IMO, this is not a re-serve situation.

OmniSpiker, since the situation that flsh224 gave occurred under NFHS rules, the 14 and under does not apply. However, if a similar situation were to occur under USAV rules, then a reserve would be appropriate for 14 and under as you indicated. The sub request would be denied, an IR would be issued and A1 would be given a re-serve If it occurred in 15's-18's, it would be a loss of rally to Team B and an IR would be given to Team A.

As far as the correctable error goes, Felix gave the correct answer to flsh224's question. Team delay was not a consideration in the original scenario.
