Legal contact is a touch of the ball by a player’s body above and including the waist which does not allow the ball to visibly come to rest or involve prolonged contact with a player’s body.

Interesting. So what if you bend over so that your hands are below your waist?
Ok, serious question. What if a player makes a bad first hit which deflects off a teammate's foot but bounces up into the air where it could be legally hit over the net? Is the unintentional contact with the foot illegal and the end of the rally?
In NCAA-W, we don't worry about this, right? There's no provision for "above the waist".
