Player #3 is a back‐row setter. She is trying to save a ball that has been passed into the plane of the net by a teammate. While the ball is in the plane of the net, the opposing blocker #17 and the back‐row setter make simultaneous contact with the ball. What is the correct decision for the referees in this situation?
- Since the ball is in the plane of the net and may be legally played by either team, no fault has occurred, and play should continue.
- An illegal back‐row attack should be called against player #3.
- An illegal back‐row block should be called against player #3.--CORRECT
- Interference should be called against the blocker (#17) since the setter (#3) has the first right to play the ball.
