correct pronunciation

[FMadera]

The 2005 NFHS Volleyball Guide states that the correct pronunciation is "lee-bah-ro", but when I attended the 2004 NASO conference in Arlington, VA, the 'top' volleyball expert there (name to remain anonymous) said that the word should be pronounced "LEE-bro".
Our state interpreter, during her clinic, pronounced it both ways.
So I still don't know which way is correct.
Hopefully, by the end of this thread, someone in authority will clarify this situation.

LEE-bro isn't correct. Libero is a three syllable word, not two, which would make it wrong.

The correct pronunciation is LEE-buh-ro. It's Italian for "free player." Some people pronounce it "lih-BARE-oh," but I tell them, "it's not the 'statue of lih-BUHR-tee.'" Accent on the first syllable.
