As for the no more lock-down, Chuck it means no more lock-down in final seconds of a period or game...so if there is a rotation, the new C will now have the clock for last second shots. If you rotate again, the NEW C will have the last second shot...

Gotta say, Rock, that sounds dumb to me. Either lock down so you know for sure who the C is going to be when the horn goes off, or make the opposite official responsible whether s/he is T or C. Your new method leaves too much room for confusion. Good luck when you get a newbie who rotates with 0.5 left in the game.

I'd be willing to bet the reasoning is because there were too many L's who considered the lock-down as an opportunity to just stay where they were instead of coming over ball-side to officiate. The officials that I have worked with have all pre-gamed that issue, and we've agreed that we should be ball-side, with the C and T staying put to avoid confusion on the last shot. If there is a change of possesion, the L just comes back across and fills their old spot. I just wonder if there will be more problems with last shots this way, rather than the problems associated with not rotating in the last few seconds.
