I get what you're saying and it definitely sucks for Tanaka(I felt really bad for him), but I think in the Manga, it's sort of implied that if Noya can get the ball, than he should. The coach tells them to not be fussy and to do whatever necessary to cut Atsumus serves of...

I hear you about the Noya receive, I'm sure that's how the show wants us to see it and that's fine, but I played volleyball for a long time and am an avid watcher of professional indoor and I do think that even a Libero jumping in front of a guy who is clearly squared up with the ball and ready to receive would be considered super rude unless they had talked about it before hand OR he had made some kind of call on the court. Neither of those were shown and I just think it wasn't cool.

i’m glad you realized that noya received for tanaka not bc he didn’t have faith in him but bc the libero’s only job is to defend so the spikers ( tanaka) can attack
