High socks: theory and practice: when you go to floor sliding on your side (extending for ball or rolling) going for ball the sleeves on arms (used to be long sleeves) and the socks protect calves when playing defense. You see lots of asian teams with these socks: and nebraska known for defense : there fore socks as defensive equipment! Yet no one else does it? Same with mens basketball, where there’s often diving for loose balls. Texas does it. Back from 2006-09 Badgers were for sure doing it.

Are there any other sports where makeup/cosmetics are used as much as they are used in volleyball? Maybe it is used in many sports and I just haven't noticed as much you have never watched gymnastics or softball I assume

When do they change the rules to play to 21 because the matches are going too long on TV?
(instead of limiting time on challenge review periods)
It used to be pretty consistent that each set was about 30 minutes. Now it's about 40.

I've thought about this -- it's kind of insanity that most 3-0 matches take up 90+ mins now. Really looking forward to watching the second half of each match later today... ugh.

Too many stories of coaches/staff abusing young women. casually watched softball, but evidently not close enough to notice the amount of makeup that players were wearing. I'm not anti-makeup or anything (nor does it bother me when someone chooses not to wear makeup). I just happened to notice that a player had re-applied makeup between sets, which I thought was somewhat unusual

Now it's about 40. still shorter than football and baseball games (even the 5 setters). The average match is comparable to the length of a basketball game, especially with the ridiculous amount of intentional fouling (that aren't called as intentional fouls) and all the media timeouts.

Yes, but it remains a women's sport and the unpredictability of the match length (between 1.5 hours and 3) must make TV people crazy.

What happens if players from both teams make contact with the net? (independently, not one team pushing the net into the other team) does the team that contacted the net first get charged with the violation and the point goes to the team that contacted it second? or is the point replayed?
and if it is the former, but the contacts are simultaneous, does that result in the point being replayed?

First contact is charged against the offending team. If simultaneous contact, replay.

Two questions:
1. In the stat line, how does the statistician determine what's an attack? I've seen player taking a free ball over and it not count as an "attempt" on the stat line, but on the other hand if it drops, they get awarded for the attack and the kill.
2. Watching the tournament, there's several plays of players leaping over/onto tables, running into the stands, etc to save shanked balls. Sure it makes a good highlight reel, but WTF do we allow this? What other sport can you run way out of bounds and make a play and come back in bounds? Why isn't there some of pursuit rule called where the ball is instantly out of bounds? Someone is going to get really hurt one day.

I've seen player taking a free ball over and it not count as an "attempt" on the stat line, but on the other hand if it drops, they get awarded for the attack and the kill. From the NCAA Stat Guidelines: fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/Stats_Manuals/VB/2022.pdfSo if in the statisticians determination playing the ball over was just to keep it alive, but it falls for a kill, a kill must be awarded. Otherwise, it's just a free ball. It's a judgement call. Watching the tournament, there's several plays of players leaping over/onto tables, running into the stands, etc to save shanked balls. Sure it makes a good highlight reel, but WTF do we allow this? What other sport can you run way out of bounds and make a play and come back in bounds? Why isn't there some of pursuit rule called where the ball is instantly out of bounds? Someone is going to get really hurt one day. There is a pursuit rule, you cannot go beyond the net into the opponent's side of the court to play a shanked pass. You also must have a body part in contact with the playing surface in order to play the ball. As to why, well, the line has to be drawn somewhere, and since the ball doesn't normally hit the ground while in play (unlike basketball or soccer) we have to use location of the player instead of location of the ball. And it rewards hustle, which is always fun.

How many teams towel the floor when they want to kill the other team's momentum without burning a TO?
