Ok, I am not alone in the "basketball offical picking up volleyball" club. I signed up last year but after picking up the rule book for a couple of hours, gave it the "yeah, right" heave right in the corner. Only after getting called to do some JH matches did I decide maybe it wasn't too hard, now I already have a decent schedule for this season, including some varsity matches. It is much easier to break in than basketball.

Now for the questions. The first question I have about the alignment restrictions is probably a stupid one, but do the restrictions only apply at the time of the serve or do they continue throughout the rally? Do they apply to both teams or only the serving team? Do they apply to the server (RB)? If so, when, i.e., not at the serve, but after? #29 on the NFHS test says "Illegal Alignment Occurs when, at the moment of the serve, the CB on the serving team is nearer the right sideline than the server (RB)". I have false but I am really just guessing, cant' find anything definitive so far.

I am working at it, but like some others, I have a lot to learn. Going to a clinic a week from Saturday, so that should help also. Thanks for the help, more questions will follow, I promise. How much overlapping occurs at the high school level, and how much is it called?
