Ahem. I'm afraid not being sure to properly understand your statement, Jim.
You shoul duse more broken english for us, poor fellows, who learned en
glish as they could and only "speak" it by mail (my last occasion of
speaking live english was last week-end with some referees colleagues from
all around Europe, during the European Champions League Final 4....but we
all speak very good broken english...:-)
So, yes, I think that 14.1 does not include the concept of "deliberate",
which is imho a too much widely opened door for interpretation. With FIVB's
14.1 any action sending the ball towards the opponents court is an attack
hit...Even a very good "candle hit" as we say in french ("une bougie"=="a
candle" is a spike which hits an opponents directly in his head...just like
gently blowing a candle...:-))

I'm afraid I am the culprit for "exotic", Jim....Just a little bit ironic
towards the only country in the world which uses its own rule set for its
national championship. Don't take it offensive, it is not of course! Just a
little "clin d'oeil"!
