Since Tomegun mentioned it, I thought I would comment:


Working on the high side in the C. Especially when the play is right in front of you, and you have to decide which way to go.

I went to two camps, and heard two different philosophies.

At the Dale Kelley camp, they wanted us to go high in the C if the ball settled in front of us.

When I went to the D3 Supercamp, they instructed us that Hank Nichols himself has said he wants officials to go to the low side when the ball settles in front of the C.

It was quite a point of contention in both camps. Having done both, I choose go low. I'm not talking about a lot, just a step or two. The reason why is becuase the angle is better on the low side due to the angle of the players in relation to the basket. In the event that A1 drives towards the block to go to the basket, I can just take another step or two high to get a good angle on that play.
