Ok, I've stayed out of this b/c I basically agree with Dan's point. Get it right. But I also agree with Rocky, in that tape consistently shows that when we call out of our primary, the accuracy of our calls goes down dramatically.

That's why we got a 3rd set of eyes at the college level -- to make the areas of responsibility smaller, so we can concentrate more on the stuff that's close to us, rather than reaching across the lane. Reaching across the lane usually equals reduced accuracy.

So. . . help out on the stuff that you're supposed to help out on. The C can help the L on a ball that goes OOB on the C side of the lane. The C can reach for a call in front of the L when the offensive player spins into the lane (and away from the L). The T can help out on closely-guarded counts on the C side of court, if there's too many players over there. The L can help out with a 3-point shot in his/her corner if the post play is clear. The T can help catch the little shuffle-step travel that's right in front of the L.

There are things that we can and should help out on. But if you're the L, and you come all the way across the lane to call an off-ball foul in front of the C. . . well, that's not a good thing. Your crew will probably have a problem with it, and an observer will definitely have a problem with it.

My two cents. Take it or leave it.
