You folks are great...one more: what is the tactical advantage of this? Does this keep libero in play more?

Two advantages....as you guessed, it does keep the libero on the court longer without having that player have to sit out a rally.

If your libero is a strong server, it also allows you to replace a potentially weaker server with the libero to serve.

Thanks Andy and everyone else. I know this is an officials forum (I'm an official in several sports, just not in V-B!) so extra thanks for answering my non-rule, strategy question.
