You should be able to turn your back on your partner, no?

Here's a Japanese television ad that makes the point.


Now that we've had a good laugh, whose fault were these accidents?

Both times the net player is in the way. The first time it isn't so bad, but watch the video again. He is blocking off part of the service court to his partner's serve. If the net player stationed one step to his left and then moved right at the sound of the serve being hit, no serve that would land in could hit him.

The second error is far worse. First the net player tries to poach a shot he can't reach (as I descibe myself doing here), and then, instead of just ducking down to let his partner hit over him, he turns around and looks at his partner!

Never do that! That's why he got it in the face.
