PSU hits .305 and Purdue .194 Kendall finishes with 29 digs. I think someone mistaken told her that she only had 5 games left to break the record  Can you please clarify what counts as a statable dig? Kendall makes a huge number of digs in a match so what is the criteria for a dig making it into the 29 that we see in the stats? I pretty much get the other stats but not the digs. Thanks from a confused English fan! |

David, According to the volleyball site I looked at, a dig is " a defensive bump that keeps the ball from hitting the floor when it's sent to your side of the court with an offensive attack, usually a spike " Hope this clarify's it for you. |

Per NCAA,DIG A dig is never awarded when a team brings up a ball that remains on their side of the net via a blocking action (commonly called a cover or continue in Stat Crew, or a “putback”) – only on an attacked ball. A dig can result from bringing up a tipped ball, not just a hard-hit attack. A serve reception does not count as a dig. In the situation where a player digs the ball and the next player kills the ball, award the player who dug the ball the dig and the assist. Team A’s digs CANNOT total more than the opponent’s total attacks minus their kills and errors. Those are the ONLY balls that can be dug. |

"A serve reception does not count as a dig."
You will find traces of serve receptions in the stat line RE meaning Reception Error. You can sometimes find detail on that, which takes the number of receptions minus the failed receptions. I believe it's an instantaneous judgment call (by a statistician?) whether an RE is charged to a player or not. Some are recorded as Team RE, IIRC when two players freeze and don't get the ball. Most aces result in an RE. Some, IIRC including wonky ones that hit the tape and fall strangely, are not recorded as RE at all.
BTW, a dig can also be an attack. There are rare instances where a shanked dig can fly over the net (overpass) to the surprise of 11 players on the court and land propitiously for a point. Not sure if the player gets credit for both a dig and an attack, but definitely yes for the attack because it scores a point.
David, do you know where to find the game stats? I can point you if you need.

Thanks stillkicking but I was after a definition of the statable dig, not just a general definition. I've had a few other replies which do provide the answer I was looking for. Thanks anyway! |
