I'd like to hear some opinions about the situation that preceded Hollosy's outburst and expulsion in 1st set because it was indeed a very rare moment, you can watch it at 1:02:35 here: https://www.sporttotal.tv/ma69578c50
Koslowski was standing beside position 5 of Schwerin's court, close to the sideline. Suhl's MB was running a slide attack and spiked down the line. In the moment that she hit the ball, Koslowski made some kind of kicking movement (which is some sort of automatic movement he does quite often), and the ball hit his foot that was in the air somewhere over the sideline The linesman signalled ball touch, so first the referee gave the point to Suhl, but then Schwerin protested and the two referees plus the linesman discussed for a while and eventually the referee gave the point to Schwerin
From the camera point of view it is impossible to tell if the ball would have landed in or out, so IMO giving the point to Schwerin can't be right. If Koslowski had stood a meter beside the line and had been hit by the ball there nobody would have protested, but like this it was a very unfortunate situation. He didn't intentionally touch the ball, but he did touch it. I think the best solution would have been repeating the rally, then both teams would have been a bit unhappy but it definitely wouldn't have escalated like that and maybe the situations that happened later wouldn't have been so emotional. It was very crazy to watch Spelman who seemed like the calmest player throughout the season repeatedly screaming at linesmen and referees and Pallag almost tearing down the net in frustration after she dug a ball but the referee said it was down
thx Matthias... this is a good summary of the situtation.
