After the 2023 season, the NCAA implemented a rule change around 2nd contact in Women’s Volleyball. Basically, it eliminated double calls, unless the ball goes over the net. So if you set a teammate, you can’t be called for a double. They talked this about for a while, and experimented with it in Spring play previously, so it wasn’t a surprise.
Following the conclusion of the 2024 season, I completed an analysis of ball-handling errors (BHE) called over the last two seasons. I turned that into a short report titled The Impact of the 2nd Contact Rule Change on Ball-Handling Errors Called in NCAA Women’s Volleyball.

Don’t worry. It’s not long (only 7 pages with a large font and good spacing). And there are visuals. 🙂
The quick and dirty is that BHE dropped massively in the 2024 season. Shocker, right?
