Correct me if I'm not understanding this play properly. Wouldn't this play be a violation on the defense if the R1 rules that the setter was attempting to set a teammate, and the offense has a third hit remaining? And if so, then the call would be an illegal block on the defense.
9-6-4 specifies when an attack is complete, and the rule is not satisfied in this play, IMO. Also, 9.6.3 Sit B is as close as a casebook play as I found. It has the setter playing the overpassed ball which is in the plane of the net, but there is no blocker involved.
