You are the first referee and whistle a ball handling fault on the setter on the first referee's left. After awarding the ball to the opponent, which signal should you show?

• A. Double hit on right side
• B. Lift
• C. Drop
• D. Illegal block

Answer: (A)

When a setter commits a ball-handling fault, you signal a double contact—the standard call for a handling fault by one player. This makes it clear to players and coaches exactly what happened with the ball. After you award the ball to the opponent, you still communicate where the fault occurred by directing the signal toward the side of the court involved. In this scenario, that localization is shown as the right side. So you use the double-hit signal and orient it toward the right side to indicate the violation and the resulting service to the opposing team.
