The NFSHSA rule book is at home, but this is clearly not the case with
USAV rules:

        16.4.1  It is a fault to touch any part of the net or the
                antennas, except for incidental contact by a player's
                hair and insignificant contact by a player not
                involved in the action of playing the ball.

        16.4.2  A player may touch a post, rope or any other object
                outside the total length of the net provided this
                contact does not interfere with play.
