Downtown, it is not "incumbent" on either official to recognize the need. See, that is part of our problem, we can anticipate but if you think you should recognize the need then you need to be coaching.
As far as an official being in the "hot spot" goes, the changes have occured to bring the calling official closer to the coaches so there isn't any yelling across the court. We have to have the courage to make calls and communicate with coaches. Communication is a must!
