From the things stated earlier, I'm guessing that I don't completely understand number 2. When I come strong side, I'm almost entirely concerned with the post play. Which means that I'm positioned looking through the strong side post players looking back into the lane. But it sounds like there are times when you want to take the whole strong side, south of the free throw line?

Pregame.
"OK..so when I come over to referee a matchup or the ball on the strong side I'm going to need your help covering the area I just left...you know, weak side lane, over the back rebound & putback fouls and especially my sideline. What I'll do as T is to take a step or 2 around the arc to help you out"

Dan, I could be wrong (it
has been known to happen), but it sounds to me like BITS is confused about whether he
must pick up the ball when he comes ballside. He sounds unsure of what his responsibilities are when he comes ballside.
Is it ok to come strongside and ONLY officiate the low-post matchup? Or does he HAVE to assume on-ball responsibility, even if the ball is not in the post?
So could you adjust your pregame talk to address this? How will you and your partner know when the T should switch to off-ball coverage?
