Dad setter - bad hands = bad location and tempo, don't worry! Good setters will always have 'good hands' whatever that means That is the argument to get rid of doubles violation. If you do a crappy job setting, it's likely a crappy set. I personally think holding the ball when setting (like an over the top beach set) is what should be called more. Both are ugly and painful to watch. Change the rule to allow doubles and you will see more catches called - guaranteed. As things stand now, it is very difficult to be both correctly loose on double and correctly tight on caught balls in the same match. When you have a catches setting vs an aggressive setter who tends to bobble a little, you have to either call both or call neither, or you have a completely unmanagable match on your hands.

The call comes from double contact, as in you cannot hit the ball twice imparting rotation (except when first contact hits your body then arms or vice versa for passers - passers have it so easy). The subjective nature comes into play when a setter runs 20 feet off the net (often to handset a poor pass), leaps into the air, rotates mid air and uses her hands to set 1st tempo to LF with a slight rotation. Refs were like, “Man, that was a really good (beautiful) play! I should not call a violation for that!” The cosine wave of opinion on calling tight and loose setter BHE recently trends toward loose, so people say get rid of the call. I may or may not have raised four setters and I still say it. It’s how you identify overrated setters on VT. Now, if you really wish to discuss volleyball justice, let’s talk about the illegal throws by pins or how all middles are called for doubles except pretty much Regan Pittman. Rotation has nothing to do with double or no double.
