It happens.

There's a school in a conference up here that does that -- the honest call. The conference tried to make it conference wide, but that didn't work as well as they'd like.

beware assuming touches due to the ball changing direction. It can change direction due to spin, float or hitting the tape. I look at the blockers hands...or point of potential contact. If you did not see the contact, you can not (should not) call the contact.

And I am going to go Peay Friday night.

Thanks for the pointers everyone. I worked a high level tournament today with better views of touches. I liked anticipating the block and getting my eyes there quicker.

Thanks for the help,
