Then I think it was at 13-14 that Pitt was called for a violation that I did not entirely understand. The announcers tried to explain in the moment that it was something not allowed by a back row player. Can anyone elaborate?

Yeah, I understood/caught about as much as you did and would also be interested in more info.  Initially I thought our player was being called for a carry violation and thus my emotions had already started to dip again.  What a rollercoaster!

It was a back row attack violation. Here's a nice article that explains the rule: https://www.cornnation.com/2019/7/13/186...l-strategy

I missed spotting the number of the player who committed the violation, but it's usually the setter who gets in trouble that way. I.e., setter is in the back row but comes up to the net to set or maybe to rescue a ball that's about to go awry, and ends up violating the rule..
