Volleyball Blocking Rules 

We had this situation where the ref called a double. The ref said that the ball was coming over as a second contact and it's not an attack thus can't consider it as a block. So... Only an attacked ball can be blocked?

I agree that the player was attempting a block and is entitled to the next contact with the ball. Sometimes, players will block the ball into the net and play the ball with a second contact after it rebounds from the net. While this seems like a double, it is not because the first contact was a block that directed the ball into the net. If you have never officiated volleyball, you cannot appreciate how many things to look for during a set. It looks much easier than it is. I've been officiating volleyball for four years, and I'm still learning new things about the rules.

That was excellent, thank you. I've been confused for years with respect to the difference between a block and regular hit when the block fails to send the ball back to other side.
