TRICKS OF THE TRADE

1
TRICKS OF THE TRADE CHECKING LINEUPS

• WITH BALL AND BOTH LINEUP SHEETS IN HAND
• R2 CHECKS THE LINEUP OF THE RECEIVING TEAM
  FIRST, START WITH BACK ROW, ALLOW LIBERO
  REPLACEMENT (IF THERE IS ONE), MOVE TO FRONT ROW,
  GIVE CAPTAINS TO R1, REPEAT FOR SERVING TEAM.
• ROLL BALL TO SERVER, RETURN LINEUP SHEETS TO
  SCORING TABLE, SECURE READINESS OF ALL OFFICIALS.
• R2 SETS ON THE RECEIVING TEAM SIDE AND GIVES
  COURT BACK TO R1.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE COMMUNICATE A DELAY IN SERVE

• R1 AFTER YOUR SCAN AND BEFORE YOUR BECKON FOR
  SERVE CENTER WITH THE R2.
• IF R2 HAS BACK TURNED, R1 HOLDS THE SERVER AND
  POINTS TO THE R2.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE WHO WAS IN THE NET?

• R2 (OR R1) CALLS A NET, WHILE CERTAIN OF THE
  CALL, IS UNCERTAIN WHO IT WAS EXACTLY.
• IF ONE OF THE POTENTIAL OFFENDERS LOOKS AT YOU,
  IT IS PROBABLY NOT THAT PLAYER WHO WAS IN THE
  NET.
• IF STILL UNCERTAIN, GIVE THE S OF THE POTENTIAL
  OFFENDERS WITH AN HONEST REPLY COACH, IT WAS
  EITHER 2 OR 13.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE BLAME THE ASSIGNER

• A REPLY TO A JUDGMENT QUESTION, EG. IF THE BALL
  IS SPINNING, ISNT THAT A DOUBLE HIT?
• JIM BEYER HAS ENCOURAGED US NOT TO CALL A DOUBLE
  HIT JUST BECAUSE THE BALL IS SPINNING.
• OR
• IF THE BALL PLAYS THE PLAYER, JIM BEYER SAID IT
  LIKELY NOT AN ILLEGAL HIT.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE GET THE CALL RIGHT

• IF THE R2 HAS INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL
  TO THE R1, THE R2 SHOULD STAND ON THE SIDELINE
  AWAY FROM THE POLE.
• THE R1 SHOULD MOTION THE R2 ACROSS THE COURT.
• POLITELY ASK CAPTAINS TO STAND AWAY AS THE EVENTS
  ARE RE-PLAYED.
• R2 GO TO THE COACH WHO LOST THE RALLY.

6
TRICKS OF THE TRADE SUB DOES WAIT FOR
AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER

• THE FIRST TIME A SUB ENTERS WITHOUT AUTORIZATION
  FROM THE R2, BRING THE SUB BACK AND THEN ALLOW
  THE SUB WITH NO PENALTY.
• ANY FURTHER TEAM OCCURRANCES FROM THE SAME SUB OR
  A DIFFERENT SUB WOULD RESULT IN A TEAM DELAY AND
  DENY THE SUB
• WHEN THE SUB ENTERS THE ZONE, HESITATE TO BLOW
  THE WHISTLE. THIS SHOULD PREVENT THE SUB FROM
  ENTERING WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION.

7
TRICKS OF THE TRADE RECOGNIZE DELAY TACTICS

• COACHES WILL TRY TO BREAK THE MOMENTUM OF THE
  OTHER TEAM THROUGH LEGAL AND QUESTIONABLE MEANS.
• ANTICIPATE WHEN REQUESTS WILL BE MADE.
• KNOW THE OF TIMEOUTS AND SUBS TAKEN.
• A REQUEST FOR A LINEUP CHECK CAN BE SIMPLIFIED BY
  ESTABLISHING WITH THE SCOREKEEPER, WHO IS THE
  NEXT SERVER?
