Serve

[Zoochy]

This was a lower level High School game. I did inform the Coach and Captain that this behavior could warrant a Yellow Card. They DID NOT like my guidance but They ceased their YELLING.
Funny thing. After the game, 3 parents thanked me for curtailing the yelling during serve. Two of the parents were from the team committing this behavior.

I can say in Michigan I posed this question to the then head of the MHSAA for volleyball and her response was this was a cardable offense because it was done in an effort to distract the server not for communication purposes.

I thought then, and still think it is a slippery slope to call and to me would have to be obvious. Given that most teams have a team leader on the floor, it isn't shocking to have 1 person call something about the serve, but all 6 players doing so is very questionable to me.
