I made a call that actually changed the outcome of a match.

This was a girls' Middle School match with kids that are just learning and coaches that don't really know how to coach yet. Visiting team has won the first set in a best of 3, and are leading the 2nd set 24-17. Home team's setter takes a position a little too close to the net and brushes the net as she sets the ball. In a high school game, I call this net fault every time. But they were getting killed and I figured there's no way they're going to come back and win the set, so I passed on it.

Well, home team wins the point and the setter then serves out the set, winning 26-24. They then win the 3rd set and the match.

I guess in the long run, it doesn't mean a whole lot. But it really made me think that there actually are times when I can affect or alter the outcome. Something to take with me into my high school season in the fall.
