If stomping by the server is fair game, then me waving my hands (as the receiver) in a distracting manner is fair too. True/false?
Der-echte, what would your ruling be then?
BTW, stomping doesn't phase me. I can tune it out.
With stomping during the serve, the sound happens on your contact. With waiving your hands during the other person's receiving of the ball, that happens when they are going to contact. And just like making sound or vocalizing while the other person is setting up for the ball or in process of hitting it, waiving your hands could be interpreted as an attempt to distract the opponent. I have seen a player who does wave his hands while the other person is hitting. I have also seen the same person stomp while the other person is hitting. And I have seen him get called for it and get points deducted for it.
But I have also seen him get away with it.
