Common sense tells you that Volleyball unlike basketball or soccer is a static sport ,that is the team stays on one side of the net the entire game . The coaches need to be able to easily communicate to their players ,make subs signal plays to the setter or server etc . It is hard to do this when you are on the wrong end of the court away from your team . And as far as the fans changing sides well that is just stupid if they can't see the plays during the entire match from where they sit then they picked the wrong place to sit in the first place . Usually these fans are from schools that don't have a strong volleyball tradition

I have common sense thank you. Basketball spends half the time at the other end and coaches adapt to it. I don't see the need for them to switch. And yes I have watched volleyball for a long time and am a fan of it. I just don't see the need to have to switch. Volleyball is quieter in between points and communication is not hard compared to some other sports.

I have become an Alabama Fan :thumb:

I'm sure they didn't have that rule in the conception of the game but as the game evolved someone found the need to switch benches. It's the rule! OK now let me ask why do baseball coaches wear a uniform? No other sports does that, do they? Thank goodness volleyball coaches don't do that!

Never understood why baseball has to wear a uniform.

 

On volleyball, depends on the coach.
