  1. I am going to guess at your question.

    The trends in volleyball are trying to make longer rallys.  And more towards making the matches more uniform in length to get them on TV.  

    To get longer plays on the ball, the rules have been relaxed.  When I started playing, you could not even touch the centerline.  You could never touch the net.  You could never double hit the ball.  (You could almost never cleanly dig a ball.  Any tiny spin was a double hit.)  Very few players could touch the ball with their hands without a following whistle.  Ever.  Any spin was an illegal contact.  Even most setters used a forearm pass to set the ball.  

    Now, you can land on the centerline with any part of your body.  You can touch the other team's court with your foot or your hand as long as your foot or hand are on or above the line.  You can double hit the first ball as long as it is one attempt to play the ball.  And almost everyone uses their hands on a first ball.  You can even make contact with the net in certain situations.  

    Rally scoring was introduced to help make matches more even on time management.  It is roughly 25 minutes for a 25 minute game (set) so that TV can figure out how time to allow.  And to make it easier for the non volleyball fans to understand.  The non volleyball fan could not figure out why their favorite team did not get a point on the scoreboard when their team won the play.  

    There is talk about even opening up the game more.  Internationally, they have experimented with a "no net" rule.  There were allowing net contact.  Under any circumstance.  They are talking about allowing double hits on the second contact.  

    I hope this is what you were asking.
