Having just finished my first year of reffing volleyball, I have to say that while it would be unusual to see volleyball ball-handling techniques used in a basketball game, I can't think of any that would be illegal (well, contact with the leg or foot, but I've only seen that done deliberately out of desperation).

Bump, set, spike, and tapping the ball with two hands -- they're all legal, even if never done.

All I see in rule 6-3 is as long as prior to the jump all the requirements have been met, no jumper shall touch the ball more than twice. Even if you counted each hand individually it would still be two touches. This is truely a goof play that happens once in a lifetime.
