SITUATION 9: A back-row player on Team A is completing an attack in front of the attack line and the ball is completely above the height of the net at the moment of contact. Team B’s block consists of a front-row player and a back-row player as they contact the ball on the block. RULING: Double foul and a replay is called. COMMENT: In this situation there is an illegal attack by Team A’s back-row player and an illegal block by Team B’s back-row player. (9-5-1b, 9-5-4, 9-5-5b, 9-5-5 Note, 9-7-2) It seems to me that in USAV this would be an illegal attack. Correct? Incorrect?
