The NCAA proposed changes to the women’s volleyball review system, simplifying the challenges of in or out and touch calls by coaches. In or out calls are determined by line judges or referees when the ball has either landed inside the line of play or outside the line of play. Touch calls are determined by whether or not a player has touched the ball before it lands on the court. If a player did get a touch on the ball, then the point is awarded to the opposing team, and vice versa. The committee has tracked all challenges throughout the years. “The top two things that are challenged the most was whether there was a touch and whether the ball was in or out,” Danny Miller, chair of the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Rules Committee, said. The committee proposed Jan. 12 to combine challenges to in or out and touch calls under the review system. Currently, as separate challenges, there is a chance that calls cannot be overturned because they are too specific. In 2015, the Big 12 Conference and the Big Ten Conference were given permission by the panel to experiment with the new video review system to challenge calls, and it has been a permanent rule ever since. “I think this is another way to be efficient,” TCU Director of Volleyball Jill Kramer said. “I know in our last head coaches meeting, we’re even talking about using headsets with the line judges and the up and down refs so that they can all communicate without having to go to the stand.” The video review system has been in effect for two seasons.
