 | Anticipating bad passes: when releasing, setters should go where the
passers expect them to be. Setters often stand far from zone 7 in
anticipation of a bad pass; then, when the pass is perfect and tight in zone
7, the setter must run to the ball a t the last moment and dump it.
 | Not calling help soon enough. The setter needs to immediately call for
help or go set the ball...never both.
 | Always hand-setting forward and bump-setting backward, or vice-versa.
 | Always dumping a tight pass.
 | Leaning backwards when back-setting.
 | Being a "fair" setter: setting left, then middle, then right,
etc.
 | Not setting a player that just made a hitting error.
 | Setting the wrong player on a bad pass. It is often easier for the setter
to set the hitter standing closest, but on a bad pass this is often too
difficult an angle for the hitter to get a decent hit.
 | Only jumping when dumping, never when setting. |
