I've always told the people I'm working with stay in your area--but get ALL non-basketball stuff i.e. throwing elbows etc. I had an offical (3-whistle) who was the C and I was the new T, call a travel that was right in front of me and it wasn't a travel. I just swallowed my whistle at the time and said something to him at halftime. As far as area, I usually don't call anything out of my area because I always lock myself into that area. There are times however when I've got an angle and if I see something that happens and I feel I need to go get it, I'll go get it strong i.e. taking several steps in when I make the call.
