Apples and Oranges

[ChuckElias]

Ok, I know there is no fair way to compare the two. Having said that. . .

I watched a bit of a HS volleyball match last night after my HS interpretation meeting for basketball. From my admittedly ignorant, untrained point of view, officiating volleyball looks only slightly more difficult than withdrawing a game fee from an ATM.

I know there are a few guys here who also do volleyball. Could you just tell me what, if anything, makes volleyball officiating challenging or interesting? Please understand, this is an honest question. In the match I saw, there was one guy on a ladder and one on the floor. And all they did was blow the whistle to start play, then indicate in or out.
