Net violation

First of all, I have to say a HUGE thank you to Jan, who has been emailing me this week, trying to help me think through some rule situations. So thank you, Jan. I do appreciate it.

Part of what we were talking about involves net violations. Jan informed me that it is the NCAA interpretation that if a player puts a hand out to her side and then an opponent hits the ball into the net, which then contacts the player's hand, it is a net fault on the defensive player.

This interpretation seems to me to directly and obviously contradict 15.2.1.1:

Quote:
If the ball is driven into the net with such force that it causes the net or antenna to contact a player, no fault is committed.
That is as clear as you can get. Player A hits the ball. The ball hits the net. The net hits Player B. No fault.

Yet the NCAA interp is to call a net fault. Notice that nowhere in 15.2.1.1 does it say that the rule only applies to a player who is "incidentally" hit by the net. It doesn't say it's a violation if the player put his hand or body in the path of the ball intentionally. It says very clearly, no fault if force of the ball causes the net contact.

So what am I missing?
