Missed this one yesterday
HS V game.
Team S setter is in the back row, she is up near the net waiting for a pass from her teammate. The pass is long and goes over the net. Team R player jumps and hits the ball down into the Team S setter. Setter is facing the net with her hands about at the height of her head, she does not jump and her hands were not above the top of the net. The ball rebounds up off of her hands, then she is the first to contact the ball. I believe this should have been called a double contact, am I right? |
Yes

As mentioned you should have had something on this one. Don't feel bad I missed one last week similar situation bad pass setter went up to get as it entered plane of the net blocker sent it back into back row setters hands which were over the height of the net. Should have been a back row block by rule I know this NOW as I looked it up afte the game I was worried about illegal back row attack and talked myself out of it since setter was not attacking the ball but trying to set it back to her side.... Totally missed the part if she's above the net and blocker legally sends ball into her it's a back row block. I learned something which as you know Andy with my thick skull it's hard to get much through it

"Attack — Any action other than a block or a serve that directs the ball toward the opponent's court. A team's third hit is always considered an attack. A completed attack occurs the instant the ball completely crosses the vertical plane of the net, or is legally contacted." So if her action was to direct the ball away from the other teams court and it was only that teams second hit, how could it be considered an attack? Again I'm trying to learn here, my thought is if it isn't an attack by definition then it couldn't be an illegal back row attack. What am I missing? |

Just came here for a second opinion. My partner was one of those guys that wouldn't know a back row fault if the the player announced it to him.... |

Had this same exact call the other night myself. Back row setter tried to go up to save an overpass above and over the plane of the net and the ball was hit back into her hands. I know what she wanted to do, but it had no bearing on what really happened. Back row block - period! |
