This content on the web site appears to be Tom Blue's post here in
rec.sport.volleyball announcing USAV rule changes for next year.  The
URL to which you're referring is
        http://www.avca.org/news/rulechanges99.html 

Notice the similarity of this page to the official USAV page:
        http://www.usavolleyball.org/officiat/rules.htm 


The women play under NAGWS rules, so you are correct.  These USAV rule
changes do not (directly) affect the women's game.  They have their
own (separate) rule changes.  However, there are a number of NAGWS
rule changes for next year as well.  

        http://www.avca.org/collegiate/NAGWSChanges99.html


The NCAA men play (I belive) under USAV rules, so these changes would
(I believe) affect mens play directly.  Disclaimer:  I've little to no
interaction with NCAA men's volleyball, so I welcome any confirmation
or denial of NCAA men's use of USAV rules.
