Instead of having some sort of penalty for lots of service errors, maybe we could reward strong serving, like maybe making a rule that you can only score a point when your team has the serve. That would be an interesting experiment. Side out vs Rally has essentially no logical impact in terms of a teams approach to serving.

You can burn yourself if you don't pay attention to the irony.

Best of 5 in 45 minutes? Not likely.

It's hard to be clearly ironic about something so many other people no this forum have attempted to say seriously, because they don't understand the binary nature of a rally.

Every issue they speak of, is an issue at some level of the game. The problem is that a blanket set of rules probably is not best, as much as we would like formality throughout the sport.
At the highest men's levels, the back row attack has become too easy. I would not say it is an issue in the women's game, and clearly not at the beginner levels (all girls juniors, any boys juniors probably below 17's, most High Schools). The biggest issue I see with the change is the idea that if you land naturally where your momentum takes you could be a fault, so you would rather land unnaturally. To me, that equals injuries. The jumpserve you control the toss. With a back-row set, I don't like getting to the ball, and then worrying about where you land after you are in the air.
The time control issues and changing points seems silly. Good teams are going to beat much weaker teams quickly, similar level teams are going to have closer, longer games. Why prolong the bad games and shorten the good games? On the HS level, the states already have the option to go 2 out of 3 vs. 3 out of 5. States with Administrators who don't care (NJ for one) made the switch to 2 out of 3, despite road trips being much closer than other states.
The net and center-line rules.. they have become dangerous at the lower levels. The professionals and college athletes know what they are doing, so incidental nets are not an injury issue typically.
In the end, the women's game has the defense that makes the game exciting. The men's game at the highest level does not. Adjusting the net up 6 inches is probably the best solution, but there does not appear to be much support there.
