Again, Brian, I have no volleyball training, but I find that almost impossible to believe. The number of judgments required on every basketball play surely must be greater than those of whether the player hit the ball legally.

Basically, every hit needs to be judged legal.
What does that entail, Brian? I know that you can't "carry" the ball. (Is the correct term "lift"?) And I think that if you hit it with 2 hands they have to touch the ball at the same time. Is that right? Is that very difficult to judge? Again, honest question. I've never done it, so I just don't know.

You also have to memorize the lineups to ensure the player are in rotation before every serve.
Now this part really does sound difficult. Are you not allowed to keep a line-up card with you to check at the serve? And even tho it sounds like a big pain to have it memorized, there's not much real judgment involved in that, is there?

I appreciate your perspective. I hope I don't seem too insulting. I don't mean to be.

Chuck
