2010 Volleyball Rule Changes
By National Federation
January 28th, 2010

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (January 28, 2010) - One of several new rules changes by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Volleyball Rules Committee permits a coach to request a substitution after submitting his or her lineup for a set but prior to play commencing. The changes, which were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors, will take effect with the 2010-11 season.

Rather than beginning the set with a penalty of a loss of rally and a point for the opponents, the changes to Rules 10-1-4 and 7-1-2 will allow the head coach to make a substitution after the lineup is submitted, which may alleviate confusion by players and officials to start the set.

Officials with Terrible Attitudes — Part II
By Peter Osborne
January 27th, 2010

In Part I, Peter described his decision to quit high school volleyball officiating. He had had enough of whining coaches, players with attitude, and bastardized Federation volleyball. He has a bad attitude, but his assignor still wants him to officiate. What will happen on the court? For that you must go inside.

Officials with Terrible Attitudes — Part I
By Peter Osborne
January 20th, 2010

Our resident baseball curmudgeon steps into the realm of volleyball officiating today. Actually, this article is generalized for all officiating and has some special tidbits for those unappreciated saints of officiating — assignors. Coaches and players may want to read this piece as well. You may recognize this official as a person to stay away from.

My wife, who is the final arbiter around the office, wanted that sentence changed so it was grammatically correct: "You may recognize this official as a person from whom you want to stay away." I refused: Hey, the editor has to draw the line sometimes.

If you read last Friday's volleyball piece by baseball writer Carl Childress, no doubt you waited eagerly for Part II. Here it is. (He insisted we add the word "eagerly" to our original blurb.)

Junior High? It's Different — Part I
Competition on a grand scale
By Carl Childress
January 8th, 2010

Our Editor-in-Chief was moaning and groaning the other day. When that happens, the office moans and groans as well, not in sympathy, mind you, but in fear. Carl kept muttering words like "stupid" and "dumb" and "idiot." We didn't figure out until lunch that he was talking about himself, and that certainly lightened the atmosphere. Finally, we came to understand that volleyball was the source of his tribulation.

So, we prevailed upon him to share that with Officiating.com's readers. Here it is. All you have to do is click the title.
