[Outta Town]

I do agree that a call can be subjective and can confuse the TV viewer. I just hate to see good volleyball muddied up to mediocre volleyball skills just so a channel hopper might actually sit and watch a match on TV.
I brought this up at my league play tonight and one very good point was brought up. People watch sports for the action, the replays in slow motion, the dances when a touchdown is scored. You do not see that in volleyball. Why? Because the cameras are set way up high so you can see the court. Better camera works might get people to watch. Close ups of their faces as the approach the net, or the celebration of a kill. Slow motion replay of a great dig, or hit. Get the camera guys that cover the beach volleyball tourneys to cover indoors. Let's hear the talking on the court between players. Cover the indoor matches just the same as the beach. Of course the beach has the guys in swim trunks and the girls in bikinis and that will always draw more viewers. Maybe the team uniforms need a change.
I have to admit, I do not watch volleyball on TV, because it is always serve, pass, set, kill, commercial. Then they break away for more commercials and the matches get finished while the cameras are not on, or all the good plays happened during the break

I guess since I started playing over 20 years ago, I just wish the game were still true volleyball with no double hits, no let serves, clean sets and so on. These were called skills and took a while to acquire. It took years to break away from lifting, throwing, double hitting and ka-chunk setting. Now they are being allowed back in slowly.
I just prefer a good clean game. I know I can't fight progress, and I love to play, so I will follow along. I guess I can now move up a division as a setter, bring out my ka chunk hands, because I DO get the ball to the hitter where they want it, but it may just have been contacted twice along the way and have a few earthly rotations on it also.
