Tell me about it.

Lady last week called a double hit on every single set attempt by either team. No exceptions, I'm not exaggerating. To the point that midway through the first game after a time out, both coaches had told their teams (apparently) to only bump set. She also called double hit on a block that hit both hands - twice.

After the game she didn't bolt, so approaching her in the lobby-area outside the gym like someone wanting to learn I asked her about it. Her direct quote: "You can never use both hands to strike the ball."

And yes, I emailed our supervisor.
