bat the ball repeatedly to the air

I think that's it's strictly a judgement call on the official's part as to whether the ball ever comes to rest or not during the tap, Juulie. If the official thinks that the ball does come to rest, then you're now into pivot feet, legally starting a dribble, etc. [/B]

Yes, and I guess what I was saying is that after 4 or 5 taps, my judgement is pretty sure there was a hold in there somewhere. But then I don't work very high level of volleyball, so maybe I just don't recognize a good tap when I see one. [/B][/QUOTE]

It is not too hard to tap the ball up with finger tips only without any hold at all. But I still do not think this kind of "repeated controlled tap" is legal, just can not find any ground in the NCAA rule to against it. Any ideas?

Thanks.
