The first referee authorizes service but before S1 can serve the ball, an errant ball enters the court. The referees whistle to stop the service action. Which of the following requests are permitted before the first referee re-authorizes the serve?

A - Either team may request a lineup check.
B - No requests (lineup check, timeout or substitution) and no libero replacements are permitted until the next time the ball is out of play.
C - Either team may request a substitution.
D - Either team may request a timeout.

The key here is that the request is after the beckon of serve. The errant ball does not constitute a replay, since the ball was never put into play. Had the ball been served, we'd have a replay and a lineup check would be permitted. But since the whistle had been blown and the ball had not been served, we are not in the window where a lineup check would be permitted.

I believe this was covered in last year's OTP. There is no error on the test, and the answer is B.

Oh, I have a hard time remembering rules that don't make sense. It seems odd to me that it matters if the serve is contacted or not.
Beacon, replay before serve, no line up check
Beacon, contact ball, replay, line up check.

I'm signing up for ref school.
