I would pay money to see that happen.

I have been asked to officiate other sports, but personally I don't feel comfortable working a sport that I did not play. I grew up playing baseball and basketball, so it just seems easier to understand the rules if you understand the game.

The only rule I know for sure in volleyball is you can't reach under the net and pull down your opponent's shorts if they are going up for a spike. So, I'm assuming I still have a little way to go in understanding that sport...
