PAVO RefSchool Questions

Question 3:

When opposing teams each request a substitution during the same dead-ball period, the second referee always blows a separate whistle for each team's request. Is the referee’s decision correct or incorrect?

I had been taught that this is CORRECT for NCAAW (incorrect for HS). Did I learn this incorrectly?

USAV requires separate whistles for each team's sub requests. NCAA does not. I think NFHS does not, but I guess I'm not sure about that.

NFHS does not -- at least here. And, I found out today that either I was told incorrectly or I heard incorrectly. One double-whistle only. in NCAA.

You learned incorrectly. USAV/FIVB is the only rule umbrella that requires the requests to be separate.

If there's a quite a delay (not delay sanction level) between one team's sub and the other, you might want to whistle the second side, just to make sure the first referee doesn't assume you're done and try to whistle for service before the second team subs.
