Sorry, Scrapper, but on this one, you're not even in the ballpark!

Basketball refs judge the pressure by bouncing it because a properly inflated basketball will bounce the same height in any gym at any time (I used to be a b-ball ref, so I am very familiar with the bounce test).

In volleyball, we do NOT bounce the ball off the floor because we don't play any bounces off the floor. We gauge the ball so that it meets the pressure standards of being between 4.3 and 4.6 PSI. We are concerned with how a ball meets that requirement so that it can be handled properly by the players...never with how it bounces off the floor since a volleyball bouncing off the floor becomes a dead ball ending the rally.
