"touch!"

Blocker yells this. The problem.....ball was well over her hands. We correctly call the point to the blockers team when it goes out of bounds. The spiking coach says, "she said touch!" I respond with, "We're going to call what we see not what a player says."

So two things.....was my comment out of line? Second, phantom touches.....I was taught to look for change in ball flight or the blockers fingers to move. If a ball grazes a blockers pinky, how are you supposed to see this? What do you all look for?
