A1, the Team A setter, contacts the ball while it is still not completely above the height of the net, but is in such a position that part of the ball is in the plane of the net. B2, the opposition's middle, goes up and contacts the ball?

What's the call?

This was brought up to me by a coach who had it called against his team earlier this season. (NFHS rules). The official in question called an illegal back row attack.

I don't see this as a correct call, because to be an illegal back row attack, the ball must be completely above the height of the net, which it was not.

The question then becomes is this an illegal back row block? Again, given the definition of a block, this can't be an illegal back row block.

so what's the call? I think it is a no call.
