That might be an issue you need to address with your association. Not sure any of us can really help you or know if that is the case. It might be that the officials you work with just do not understand what 3 Person is about

That is not ever true. What if the shooter comes from the Center's side? The Center even in half court situation has the right to watch the ball all the way to the basket. And in transition, there are really not defined areas. You have to work together to call what happens. Sometimes depending on who is where and how many players are in front of you, you might have a situation where all 3 officials could have a possible call in transition. Even the Trail depending on what players are doing what could have a call.
