Has the evaluator ever officiated volleyball??? The information given was worse than useless...it was dead wrong. The R1 is responsible for the ball, the R2 has the net and center line. What happens if the LJ's and R2 are screened on a spike and the only one who could make a call because (s)he was following the ball was the R1? By the evaluator's reasoning. the play would be missed since the R1 did not follow the ball. In that case, not following the ball would be a cardinal sin.
IMLHO, retire this person from evaluating immediately if not sooner.
