Last night, Louisville spent most of the night serving Pitt short. What is the reasoning for that?

Am I right in that a back row attack is only considered an attack if the strike of the ball is at least partly above the top of the net? In a league last night, a shorter guy did a back row attack, but stepped on the line, but also the ball was pretty far in front of him and he hit it pretty low with kind of a pokey and I didn't think he hit the ball when the ball was above the net. He called himself on the back row attack fault (because he "jumped" not behind the line) but I chimed in saying I didn't think it was actually an attack because his hit was below the net and therefore whether he jumped was irrelevant. But I was alone in this thinking (intermediate league, most with decent experience but maybe no experts there). Was I right? And this is where the dumb question starts, can anyone readily point me to a rule that describes how this is determined? Yes you’re right, if he isn’t attacking above the net, it wouldn’t matter. I’ve ran into a couple of high school teams that faithfully sets their libero for a “backrow attack” but they’re not actually above the net so it wouldn’t count as a fault. (Same situation, probably different positions than you were dealing with. Either way it’s legal lol) |

Were these high school and club liberos really short where they could full jump and hit without worrying about being above the plane of the net or were they just crafty and not fully jumping ?

I see references to rules 9-5-4 and 9-5-5b, so I would look in the rulebook around there. |

For the game match thread titles what does the 'RV' stand for in front of a team name? 🤔
