In my experience, it's both clueless/unskilled referees and referees that simply don't choose to enforce the rules as written, depending on the situation.

In the three scenarios mentioned above...
  • Libero Uniform. Mostly because the referee doesn't want to enforce the rule.
  • Screening. 50/50 between lack of rules knowledge and referee wanting to enforce the rule.
  • BRA/BRB. Mostly because referee is unable to track players / alignment. Typically due to inexperience. I know when I started, I had no idea at all. : - )
