That's some excellent information. Thanks.

I miss read the OP. I think this would be a no call. No rule has been broken.

Can you please provide a rule reference for either a BRA or BRB violation in this situation?

It is my understanding that a player cannot be called for any BRB violation if they have no part of their body above the height of the net (and are not involved in a collective block).

It is also my understanding that a player cannot be called for any BRA violation if the ball is not completely above the height of the net (notwithstanding a libero with setting action on/in front of the attack line).

Further, I am unaware of any rule that specifically prohibits "simultaneous contact with the ball in the plane" if the BR player has no body part above the top of the net.
