I agree with Chuck that the marking (in the gray area) is not that big of a deal but what can be confusing is the contact on the shooter responsibility. It is just not a matter of one official dropping their signal, somebody has to make sure someone is bringing the shooter down. Not only down, but make sure that the defender is not boxing him out in an aggressive manner. It takes a lot of discipline to not follow the flight of the ball or a lot of discipline to stay, stay, stay with the shooter and a runner coming at him. Two markers go up and you both drop your signal and turn to rebounding/goaltending action and the next thing you know someone is on the floor and you won't be sure how they got there.
A pre-game could include that if both mark in the gray area, the C will drop and the T will have the shooter. However, if a shooter is WAY over on my side of the court when I am C, I am staying with the shooter.
