Yep, the majority of my girls are 14's and 15's so I've got a short team. I do have some that can reach above the height of the net, but the majority of my girls jump reach barely even clear the height of the net so most contacts are below the height of the net.

Oh yeah, I saw a most similar rally in the Men's FIVB USA vs Japan

however in that instance where the Japan's rightside hitter hit in between the seams and USA's middle blocker was way off and used a kicking foot action to prevent the ball from grounding on the floor. Since that action may have happenned while the middle blocker was in the air and in a blocking motion, but the use of his foot was clearly a separate action indicating that is was not part of one single blocking execution. The remaining team's contact had to field the ball back in two more hits and they did manage that too. It was an exiciting rally.
