[Vb Scrub]

Are there any other sports in high school where the rules require the coach to remain seated during competition? Sorry I am not up on many rules of sports other than volleyball. It seems there are rules that get applied to vb but not other sports, I mean besides the obvious game play rules. Another one: in other HS sports are coaches allowed to question a ref's call without losing a time out? Refs are not so infoulable (sp) that they don't make mistakes and it seems in HS VB that a coach can't even question a rule interpetation without being threatened with a card or have to protest it and lose a timeout.

I don't ref HS but am around quite a bit of HS VB. It may be that there is just a poor pool of refs around here but many don't even know the rules of the game, don't know how to ref VB or have been doing it the same for years and years and refuse to officiate using the new rules of the game. They have no exposure to the game except going and doing their match and going home. There just seems to be some antiquated rules and styles in VB that keep sticking around no matter the changes in the game.

Sorry for going off on a tangent, one thing lead to another.
