"Good artists borrow, great artists steal." - Picasso
Volleyball essence is offense that puts the ball down and defense that keeps the ball up. The synergy between blockers and defenders (see below) informs a key part of that mission. Early reads, quick reaction, and disciplined blocking inhabit the process.
There's a basketball saying, "Spacing is offense and offense is spacing." Restated, basketball offense spaces out the defense, creates separation with cutting and passing, leading to the "scoring moment."
Volleyball is similar. Spacing creates options and defense reduces spacing, compromising the opponents attack. Making a team play "out of system" is a key part of volleyball, often by making the first pass difficult.
