In the recent Melrose-Barnstable game in the third set, multiple controversial calls affected the game. I've broken down the DVD for you, and you can make the call...maybe and yes.
First, Melrose trailing 23-21, set 3, Athena Ziavras sends a topspin lob to the corner. Ball called out.
Unfortunately, the "motion" analysis captures the ball just after the bounce. Even with replay, it's a very tough call. Having run it back and forth ten times, I'd say there WAS NOT indisputable evidence to overturn the call. That is the standard. Point Barnstable._____________________________________________________
With the score Barnstable 25-Melrose 24, Melrose outside hitter Laura Irwin cranks an overhead smash, which the lead official calls OUT and the floor official calls good, leading to a repeat point.
The "distant replay" (enhanced) shows the ball in with plenty to spare. Melrose wins the repeat point, and goes on to defeat Barnstable 27-25, for a 25-13, 25-17, 27-25 sweep."Curiosity killed the cat; information brought him back."
