The problem we have is that our smaller schools have minimal clearance around the playing court, so when a team is shuttling, a shanked ball is usually at a hitter's feet unless shomeone is exceptionally quick at intercepting the ball. In the larger gyms, we don't have an issue, but it is easier to make all schools have to follow the rule. In fact, the smallest school gym has been ruled unsafe for basketball, and they forfeit all of their home basketball games. This gym has serving. Either the shuttling team or the team on the floor have to contend with errant balls.

Also, just received a notice from the NCAA rules interpreter, that officials aren't enforcing the exclusive use of court protocol.
