What are everyone's thoughts?

A little note about your pet peeve. Typically, most referee's will not call a double on first contact. And depending on the level of participants, they can be very lenient.

In high school, refs should never be making double contact calls on the first touch of each possession. Every time a team gets a new set of 3 hits, the rules prohibit calling a double contact on the first of the 3 touches, no matter how ugly. A lift can still be called, though.

I do agree the calls on the 2nd and 3rd touches are incredibly inconsistent. However, in 15+ years of volleyball, as a player and a coach, my experience is that refs generally are not inconsistent between 2 teams playing each other, but refs are inconsistent between each other. Some refs call nothing, some call everything.
