Girls in Illinois use NFHS in High School and NCAA in college... however, I wasn't talking about girls. I was talking about guys, and guys in Illinois use NFHS for High School, then USAV for college... so, yes they don't play USAV rules until they hit college (unless they play USAV Club ball during High School) and I did mention that "he" was playing the ball.

However, they were possibly correct depending on the length of time the ball was in contact with the player. Hackey-sack isn't only about catching the sack on their foot, it's also about technique and style of contact that has "brief contact" with the player. And for a player to have the ball dropping alongside them, and they "hackey-sack" it up (with the side of their foot), parallel to the net, and to their outside hitter, that would need to be accomplished by either a "hugely caught-and-thrown" ball, or a definite "kick." So, given my situation, there was no prolonged contact, and therefore legal within USAV.

The nearest blocker, while the ball is dropping right in front of him, he "hackey-sacked" the ball with the side of his foot, and it went straight up and parallel to the net, to their outside hitter (a beautifully perfect set, under any standards) and that hitter clobbered the ball down to the opponent's court.
