I don't have my book with me.
My buddy had this happen last night and is asking me. 
I'd say illegal block but unsure. |
If the ball was ENTIRELY above net height when contacted AND the attack was completed (9-5-1-b, 9-4-4) the it would be an illegal attack, not a block (9-6-6). You cannot have a block without a player in close proximity to the net (9-5-1-c).
If any of the ball was below the tape at all, said attack is legal. If you (or your buddy) are going to make this call, you'd better be 100% sure of the ball height.
