On the double contact, you may be right.

Quote:The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved allowing women's volleyball players to contact the ball more than once with any part of the body in a single attempt on a team's second contact when the ball is played to a teammate.
That seems crazy to me, though I guess the rule was borne out of the fact that frequently, determining whether a contact was a single or double touch is a difficult judgment call, though this one wasn’t a matter of judgment; it hit her hand first and then hit her foot. Anyways, since it was the first touch, by the new rule it is not considered a fault. I take back my criticism of the announcers.

Making the referees’ job even more difficult. Sheesh.
