You need to make sure you understand the actual language regarding what back row players can or cannot do.

There is nothing whatsoever that limits where a libero can set from. The libero can set, using finger action, from anywhere on the court. The only limitation is what happens on the next contact. Libero finger set from attack zone, followed by attack from totally above net height: illegal attack. ANYTHING else: play on.

Too many people think the libero is not allowed to set...completely false.

Thanks, Felix...

For cleaning up the libero limitations. I got careless in my post and did not complete the scenario.
