I have never heard of squaring up to a play. How do you stay "squared up to a play when a play is moving? How can you tell if your partner is squared up to a play with a group of say, 6 players? I have heard the term square up when it is referring to the endline. For instance with the ball in the corner on the Leads side you have to square up to the endline to officiate the play.

Once again I stress, without the proper pregame and practice you will be officiating where you are going to end up while you are passing players and matchups. Mick, Rainmaker, can you speak on this subject using your current technique? You have not mentioned the importance of endline positioning (depth and width), closing down or the Trail's adjustments. Squaring up has been the main issue and since every play is different inconsistent officiating cannot occur when communication is based on getting to a play across the paint to square up on it.
