I did my first ever men's college game two nights ago, It was also my first time doing a three person crew and the first time game using CIS (Canadian version of NCAA) rules.
Thankfully, it was a pre-season game and the coaches focused on their players and not my calls, although I felt it was OK. A couple of veteran officials were there to help and evaluate. It was a great learning experience. One thing I am noticing as I move up the officiating ladder is the quality of refs that I get to work with. Even though there is more pressure at this level, you get to work with guys who are great teachers and who have seen it all before.
Here's a question I would like to raise in this forum. In a three person crew, A4 is guarded by B4. A4 drives to the basket, he gets by B4 and B2 comes over to try and draw a charge. There is contact. Who's call? The trail who had the ball and took the play to the basket? Or the lead who was watching B2 in the paint before the dribble?
