This is an odd occurrence I really only see in volleyball, both indoors and on the beach.
Can you imagine
- a pro basketball player missing a free throw, and the other team yells YEAH!!
- Or a baseball outfielder dropping a foul fly ball, and the batter yells YEAH!
- or a football receiver dropping an easy pass, and the defender gets all YEAH!
- or Messi/Reynaldo kick a chip shot over the goalposts on an empty net?
- or a rival gymnasts falls of the balance beam, and YEAH!
See, in other sports you only go YEAH! when YOU had something to do with the outcome. A roof block, hell YEAH! An Ace, YEAH! A baseball strikeout, hell YEAH!
But a serve into the Net, and YEAH! What are you YEAH!ing about?

I've never really understood this either.
What really annoys me is when teams cheer over the top at missed serves or other people's errors. I understand being happy with the point and moving forward but some people celebrate other teams errors like they just hit a ball straight down inside the 10 foot line.

Psychological warfare, get inside opponents' heads by making them think about basic skills.

What are you YEAH!ing about? First and foremost you are scoring a point, any time you score a point why would you not celebrate it? But to 405 point too - how many of us know how important a serve could be, especially after siding out, that you celebrate loudly or perhaps over the top to just mess with their mind and not let them forget they messed up. Start teaching kids to be soft and lose a killer instinct and you could easily get multiple plus runs against you. |

A momentum jump start, I suppose.
The rah rah seems to get the positive juices going and hopefully carry over to your own play.
That being said I cant stand all the hugging and over board hand slapping on every single play. It started in the womens game but its trickling over to the mens game. I've started thinking about it in my own play. "Why do we have to slap hands after every single play(good or bad), why do I have to slap my opponents hand all the time on side changes?" I've done it for 25 years but all this hand slapping all the time is starting to seem weird.

When your opponent is absolutely ripping a serve in your direction, you take a side out any way you can. I kind of see your point at the lower levels, but at the higher levels, siding out is siding out, and not having to work for it feels pretty good.

in the game of volleyball players are not allowed to talk too each other through the net. Only opportunity to try and mess up with opponents head is when they make an error.

When I am being targeted in serve receive, I will go stand on the line. If they keep coming after me and serve out, isn't that point a result of something we did?
When it's windy day and my opponents are on the bad side, I'll sometimes set up usually shallow to bait them to serve deep. Most people don't practice serving deep with the wind behind them, so they'll often make errors.
Missing a serve in volleyball isn't the same as missing a free throw in basketball. If you serve a lollipop or the wrong person, it's almost statistically as bad as missing your serve.

When you are getting a point from Their error you cheer, like in tennis or soccer in a shootout. Well, no. You never see Federer yelling YEAH! when Rafa double faults. The soccer analogy doesn't work because the goalie is involved in shootouts. |

Psychological warfare, get inside opponents' heads by making them think about basic skills. That warfare exists in every sport. Tennis for example. That's also physical and mental combat. But in tennis you only see a player go YEAH! when he makes a great shot, or forces his opponent into an error. You don't see it with double faults, which is exactly what an out/net serve is. It just makes the sport seem bush. |

Now THAT is what needs to change. We need trash talking back like the '80s. Trash talking is a part of just about every sport. But even in the 80's trash wasn't talked about missed serves, but about things in the run of play. |

Because the first team to 21 wins and that missed serve gets them one point closer. There. That was simple.

Actually in football I do see some defensive backs celebrating when the WR drops a pass and the defender really had nothing to do with breaking it up. |

actually you see this in other sports too. This being said in my opinion players cheer way too much in volleyball anyways. Indoors being even worse than beach volleyball but I also think it's stupid how especially the women on the beach hug after each and every point. I undestand if they do it after an important point but they score the first point of a game and scream, start hugging followed by some hand shake routine and what not... I mean it's your goddamn job to score points. I don't celebrate in the office every time I send out an email lol...
