I'd be curious as to how you/your partners work switches though.
First of all, it's actually pretty hard on the legs to be up on the ladder for a prolonged period of time. I'd much rather run. Second, not only do you get to look down on the coaches, they don't even get to talk to you. If they need something, they are required send their captain to you. Third, if somebody gets even a little outta hand, show 'em a card and they're likely to be good as gold the rest of the night.

However, you've got to know at every moment which position every player on the floor is playing. Not only do you need to judge whether that block was legal (not BI or GT), but also whether the player making the block was front row or back row during this rotation. Oh, and you also need to consider the spin on the ball when judging whether each pass is legal.
