Return to court 45 seconds between setsMissed pancake in free zone, line judge signals touch only or out on other side
RETRO RULES

O
LEGAL??? YES
*Except if interferes with play or if used as a support
When the net is clearly contacted; No Call Net Fault Responses“I didn’t call a net fault because…;…the net was pushed into the player by the ball.”…the player was not playing the ball*.”…the player had transitioned away from the net.”…the net contact did not interfere with play*.”…the player’s hair contacted the net.”…???
We should always be honest and admit, when it occurs, we did not see the net contact!
…the contact was outside the antenna.”
Net Fault Signal Mechanics
1. Second Referee Blows whistle and steps to side at fault Indicates net fault Shows (mouth?) number of player at fault to first referee
2. First RefereeAwards the pointShows (mouth?) number of player at fault to team bench3. Second Referee mimics the point signal
Assessment of Sanctions
Red Card Penalty
Yellow Card Warning
Yellow & Red Card Disqualification (use both hands)
Bench Decorum/Questioning Judgment
•Rules Committee has expressed a concern.
•Yellow Card is merely a warning. USE IT!
COACH DISQUALIFICATIONThings to consider.
•Anticipate and proact (diffuse) “hot” issues.oSecond referee make eye contact; “Coach what is your concern?”
•Even your best effort may not prevent a yellow/red card.oSecond referee should calm coach, rather than immediately report the card. If card is requested by second referee apprise the first referee. If card is initiated by first referee apprise the second referee to explain to the coach why the card was issued.oFirst referee calls captain over explain why the card was issued.
oDon’t let angry coach communicate with first referee.
oOnce a red card is issued the second referee must sooth the coach to avoid DQ.
•Never, ever ignore the coach.o“I wanted to talk with someone and no one would listen.”
COMMUNICATION•Control what we say. Rule knowledge is important.
•Wait to hear what the concern is. “Coach what did you see?”oListen. Repeat back to coach what your heard he/she said.oRemain calm.oDon’t interrupt.oDon’t formulate a response before you know the problem.
•Body language and position is telling.
oUse simple language, grammatically correct.oDon’t be condescending or dismissive.oAvoid saying “It was in.” or “There was a net.”
“We saw it in.” or “I saw #5 in the net.”oWords 14% Tone of voice 86%
oConsider facial expressions, gestures, habits, posture, movementoAsk partner for feedback.
•End with “Coach you may right, but this is what we are going with.” or “I understand your concern, but it’s time to play.” or simply “Let’s play coach.”
Basic Timeout ProtocolSecond referee whistles, signals, indicates team – open hand toward team’s mid-court
Hold up number of timeouts each team has taken to first referee.
No longer tap shoulders on officials’/media timeout; timeout signal followed by open hands to both mid-courts
Do not show and verbalize to the bench after one timeout unless asked by coach.
During Timeouts-The second referee should: Check the score sheet to insure timeout is recorded correctly and verify the number of timeouts each team has taken.
Verify the number of subs each team has taken.
Ask the libero tracker to verbally verify the status of each libero. i.e., “libero on left in”
The second referee should review this technique during the pre-match briefing.
End the Timeout
Second referee gets in base position on receiving team side and indicates number of timeouts (hand signal) taken by both teams, to first referee First referee mimics (Second referee gives ready signal )
Timeout ends with a horn.
Inform coach after 2nd timeout; timeout signal, hold up two, “Coach you’ve taken two.”
Ending Timeout Early
Continue to use a warning whistle (blast loud enough to be heard) with 15 seconds remaining on the clock.
If both teams are ready end timeout with a horn and not a whistle.
The second referee instructs the scoreboard operator to stop the clock and sound the horn.
A conversation with a player and coach on the sideline means that team is not ready
Ending Timeout –Team still at the bench as timeout is ending;Second RefereeAvoid “clapping” as you encourage the team to take the court.Warning Whistle blast at the 15-second mark
Perhaps verbalize to an assistant coach when a few seconds remain
Horn at 0:00 (Authorize the timer to turn clock off if both teams are ready before 75 seconds; use horn.)
Use delay sanctions as needed
Non-compliant uniforms
Ask the coach if either the teammates or libero can change into a solid-colored uniform.
If that is not possible
PLAY THE MATCH The team should be reported by the referees to the NCAA Secretary- Rule Editor (Anne Pufahl) [email protected]
Retro Reminders -Illegal court markings (Rule 1.2.2.1)
Court Boundary (2” wide) Lines Two solid (uninterrupted) sidelines (long lines) and two solid (uninterrupted) end lines (short lines) mark the playing court.
Ask event management to comply.Applies to attack lines.
Carry blue painter’s tape. Do not tape the floor without permission.
Suspended Net System
All vertical and angle supports that go up to the ceiling are considered as unplayable, that is if the ball hits the support any where below the ceiling it is considered a fault on the side that initiated the last contact.
From Anne Pufahl, Rules Editor
Pre‐Match Procedures •Hold pre-match discussion with line judges in locker room when possible; off-court? •No “C” hand signal for coin toss;, Hold up coin, whistle•No double‐whistle after introductions •Second referee indicates captain to first referee with open hand. Captain acknowledge the first referee. No need to repeat unless captain changes•Second Referee reminds scorekeeper and libero tracker to help check lineups; Before ball to 1st server, “Have you checked the lineups on the court?”
Pre-Match Greeting with Coaches
Keep It Cordial, But Brief!!
Officiating Manual; page 15 If possible, the referees together should meet each coach, just after the coin toss when both coaches are courtside. 1) Simple Introduction2) Identify who is serving/receiving3) Cover unusual ground Rule/situations/ask for questions4) Wish “Good Luck”5) Equal Time
Artificial Noisemakers and Bands (Rule 18.2.6.2)
Bands may not play during a rally. Bands, sound systems, and the public address announcements should cease when the first referee prepares to authorize the service.
How will they know?
Pre-match awareness; we control the tempo Ask announcer; “What is the last thing you’ll say?’
Lineup Submission
10.1.1.1 For the first set of the match, lineup sheets must be submitted no later than the three minute mark on the clock timing the pre-match warm-ups. For other sets…30 seconds before the expiration of the interval between sets.
10.1.1.7 Changes may be made to the lineup sheet after it is submitted without penalty or substitution until the one minute mark.
Note: At the one minute mark lineups can be released to the official statisticians, announcer, and other appropriate parties.
Referees are instructed to “protect” the lineups.
Controlling Subs in Warm-up AreaThe second referee will make sure each set begins with subs from both teams in the warm-up area.
Coaches insure your subs stay in warm-up area. You will receive one verbal warning for the match.
Handle early and firmly
Avoid moving a team back that is not serving?
Crossing the Centerline
There is a concern referees are allowing play to continue when a centerline fault has been committed. Non-calls should be the exception.
Rule 15.2.4.1 Legal for hand(s) and foot (feet) to cross the centerline without interfering with the opponent’s play or does not present a safety hazard
Raised sensitivity to safety.
Substitution
Signal substitution with closed hands (fists)
Inform Head Coach (if not head coach a coach), verbally and visually (sub signal/hand signals) for substitutions 12-15. Inform first referee on 15th sub.
Right fist is the #10
Try to know the # of subs each team has taken in case the coach asks. Some coaches expect to know each time or after timeout.
Failure to inform coach is not protestable
Second Referee Stepping to the Fault SideIt is NOT required.
If you do step to side of fault, don't sacrifice fluidity, be visible.
For those who are USAV referees, your key is if you’re on the side the first referee awards the point, move to the other side with no walking signal. NCAA referees may do the same.
From Christy Johnson-Iowa State Head Coach“We wrote the wrong lineup down and didn’t realize it, wrote #3 starting opposite the setter but we actually started #2 in her spot. Refs didn’t catch it when we started. Then #2 subbed out of the game and scorekeepers didn’t catch it then either (in fact, they wrote down #3 was subbed out, rather than #2). Later in the game we tried subbing in #3 to serve for one of our middles (as far as we knew, #3 had not been used in the match yet) and that’s when we discovered we started #3 rather than #2. It should have been called an improper substitution request – we should have just received a yellow card and the game should have continued as it was. But instead they called an illegal lineup and took away one of our points and gave it to Texas Tech. I asked to protest the point but the ref said I could not protest it because you can’t protest an illegal lineup. I protested after the match, the rules committee ruled in our favor and so it turned into a “no contest” until the game was replayed.”

Thanks to Tom Johannsen for contacting Christy Johnson
•The second referee, scorer and libero tracker did not check the lineup on the court before the set.
•The protest should have been accepted. (Not a judgment situation, but rather an interpretation)
What went wrong?•Iowa State wrote in a wrong # on the lineup sheet.
oIt was the 5th set. What were the lineups for sets 1-4?oDid it merit any one’s attention?oTell first referee a new player is opposite the setter?
oDo not take anything for granted!oSuspect they worked together many times before?
oAsk coach “What are you protesting?”oWrong rule applied. Improper request, but because of whistle it is a Delay Sanction.oDid the first referee weigh in? If not why not?
•The scorer and libero tracker were not communicating.oHow could they have not caught it when #2 subbed out the first time?
•The second referee was suspended for one match.
•The protest was was due to insufficient lighting.
What was the fallout?•Iowa State went from losing the set and match to winning the set and match.
oIt was replayed from the time of legal protest at Iowa State in front of no fans, cheerleaders, band, announcer, media.
oDon’t download a light meter app.oLook for a solution if lighting appears dimmer than normal.oUnless the first referee feels there is a legitimate safety factor, play the match.
Another upheld Protest
Point of Emphasis - OVERLAP•Overlap, Out of rotation, Positional Fault is not being called?
oLack of confidence/concentrationoFear of being wrongoCoaches don’t want it called on them.oComplacency; One less thing to worry about.oDidn’t warn (curb warnings)
Egregious overlap deserves no warningIf you do warn, do not say “I am calling the next overlap.”Give #s and say “There is a potential overlap.”
oDidn’t gain an advantage; DON’T USE!oFirst referee rarely calls serving team. Can call receiving team, but second referee cannot call serving team.
•Teams are scouting and studying opponent’s overlap
•Gather information from sourcesoMemorize setters and the players opposite; the server, lineup sheetoLook for player features; hair color, style, shoes, etc.oAsk the scorer; “Who are the next three servers.”oScout the teams by studying box scores (setter has most assists), warm-ups, prior matches, word of mouthoPartner discussionsoOther assistant coach (calling out numbers for his/her team or telling second referee) ***not always correct oOther head coach or front row player***
oMay identify in meeting with coach
Point of Emphasis – Back-Row SetterTaking it over on Two
NCAA Central Hub VolleyCast #6 from 2013 http://ncaavolleyball.arbitersports.com/front/106897/Video/player/2358/4122
•Every time a Back-Row Setter is in the air be on alert.
•The tighter the pass, the less likely the Back-Row Setter will send the ball over the net.
•Be aware of the Setter’s hand position during contact.
•Don’t overuse the below the net signal.
NCAA/PAVO CLINIC NOTES Professionalism, Teamwork and Ball Handling are included in every clinic.
Be wary of using social media.Why do we do what we do?

It’s Coming for all levels•Computerized Scoring
•CRS (Challenge Review System)oExperimental Rule for 2015 (Big 12, Big 10, Pac 12)o3 per matchoBall in or out (pancakes), ball contacting a player, net fault, service foot fault
NCAA/PAVO CLINIC NOTES Second Referee stuff•Don’t turn back on first referee between sets•Don’t indicate # on centerline fault (can reply if asked)•Discreet signal on a touch OB is a no-no•No touch signal during rally
What influences you?•Coaches, fans, players, announcers, partner, other referees•Negative feedback “Block it out.”•What calls/no calls do you want to take back (Mulligan)?•Once you make a “tight” ball handling call, can you maintain?•Long rallies get more leniency? (3rd contact no leniency)•Never end a set/match with a ball handling call?•Stay in the moment!

COACH INFORMATION2015 Notes for the IIAC Volleyball Coaches from the NCAA/PAVO
Referee’s Training Clinic held in Kansas City, July 26; from Jim Beyer
New rules occur on even numbered years (two-year cycle). So there are no new rules for 2015, but there are some clarifications, points of emphasis and reminders. Also it is important for you to know the pertinent training techniques offered to all officials.
With no particular order;
For facilities constructed after 2016, a free zone of 3 meters (9 feet, 9 inches) is required.
Shirts may be numbered from “0” through “99”. “00” is not a legal number.
Any questions involving uniforms (solid-color, libero, logos, etc.) should be directed to rules interpreter, Anne Pufahl, 205 Glenview Ave., Wauwatosa, WI 53213. Phone: 414/430-0111; email: [email protected]. This would also apply to the legality of equipment like a protective helmet. A doctor’s letter is not acceptable only a letter from Anne. You may continue to contact me with your rules questions and questions in general, but in reality I pass them along to Anne. So if you want a direct answer she is the one to contact.
Last year you chose not to adopt a conference policy for the first 20 minutes of pre-match warm-up (until the 40 minute mark on the clock).
Your referees are supposed to arrive at the site at least 60 minutes before the starting match time. Their jurisdiction begins with their arrival on the court at least 40 minutes before the starting match time. It is recommended that the scorer, assistant scorer and line judges arrive at the site at least 30 before the starting match time. Please let me know if this does not happen. Also please insure, if not you or your assistant, there is a court manager ready to greet the officials as they arrive. A private dressing room is highly suggested and much appreciated. There must be an administrator or designee available and visible during the match to handle any crowd issues or concerns by the referees. This individual should provide an escort off the court for all officials and if need be to the parking lot.
The default for a timeout is 75 seconds, but may be less if both teams are ready to play. By agreement of both coaches, the length of a non-broadcast match may be reduced to 60 seconds or increased to 90 seconds. If both coaches do not agree, the default of 75 seconds will be used.
The sanction level of expulsion (dismissal for the remainder of the current set) has been deleted. A further sanction after a penalty (red card) or the first instance of extremely offensive conduct would result in disqualification (dismissal for the remainder of the match and the very next match).
If a rally is stopped due to an injury to the libero, the player that the libero replaced must return to the court, and then one substitution can be made for that player.
There are two ways player introductions should occur; Option No. 1: Players move from the team bench to the end line as their names are announced. The national anthem may be played before introductions (while the teams are at their benches) or after introductions (while the players are on the end lines). Option No. 2: Players stand on the end lines of their respective courts. The announcer introduces the visiting team first, followed by the home team. The national anthem may be played before or after player introductions.
If the server gets within 4-5 feet of the sideline at the corner where the line judge has based his/her position. The line judge no longer goes behind the server, but rather moves in line with the end line 4-5 feet from the corner. The line judge is not to move until the server has contacted the ball. Please make sure your line judges are thoroughly prepared in advance of the match date of all their duties. This also holds true for the scorer, assistant scorer (aka libero tracker) and timer/scoreboard operator. Where facilities allow the scoring table should be opposite the first referee and the scorer should be visible to the first referee. It is highly recommended the scorer sit between the assistant scorer and timer/scoreboard operator.
There is an increased push to have line judges be certified officials. Most Division I conferences require this. I am aware Grandview, Graceland and William Penn (HAAC) are hiring 4 referees for their JV/Varsity home dates. There may be other schools doing this that you may face. At the present time there are not enough referees on the IIAC Roster to do this. Certifying just line judges may be necessary if the conference wants to follow suit. Obviously this would also be a great increase to your individual budgets.
You lose your coaching rights when coaching from behind the bench. You may only address the second referee or your captain with first referee on non-judgment calls. If you feel a decision has been misinterpreted or a rule misapplied you have the right to protest, in fact you should protest. Regarding questioning judgment calls you should expect a warning (yellow card). If you persist a red card would be in order. The referees are instructed to take better control of the benches and not allow unsporting behavior. Since the issuance of cards for behavior is a judgment call it is not protestable.
Overlap was discussed at length. The thought was coaches want overlap to be called more when it comes to their opponent. Please refrain from identifying overlaps when they are perceived to occur. It would not be inappropriate to apprise the referees during pre-match your scouting reports may identify potential overlaps. The referees have the option to warn, but it is not required by rule. Hold overlaps to the same standard as BRA/BRB. Back row setters are taking the ball over above the height of the net and not being detected.
Computerized scoring is coming.
