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. [/B]
I honestly think that is what most crews were doing last season, and that's why the official mechanic has been revised - and I honestly hope that by the time the season comes around they have decided that it will be handled this way...
