It sounds as though L could have seen the trap developing, and started a rotation and thus had a fair angle to see the contact.
If I were the C, I'd be thrilled if someone called that out from under me (someone besides a coach!). I think the most important thing in this sitch is to get the call right, regardless of who has the angle.

Rainmaker, I have to disagree with you on this one. I wouldn't want someone coming approx 40ft. to take a call away from me while I am approx 5 ft away and the T in the vicinity. For the life of me, I can't see the L making this call, especially on the endline. IMO if the L has no competitive matchups, then he should be doubling the lines and should be free throw extended. If that is the case, then he may have a whistle on the play.

I haven't done much 3-person at all, so I can't say I have it down pat, so maybe I'll word my viewpoint in the form of a question -- Jeopardy-style. These aren't intended to be Socratic, they are genuine uncertainties.
It sounds as though there are no players that need watching that are below the free-throw line extended. Why would Lead be clear down on the endlne?
|
He should not be. From what I can tell reading the thread the L should have been about at the top of the key on his sideline.
|
So that would mean that he shouldn't be thinking about rotating yet? And shouldn't be looking "way over there"?
|
Nope, if the players nearest the basket are at the top of the key then there shouldn't be a rotation.
IMO if the L's on the sideline at the top of the key there is no way he will not see what's going on just inside the half court line opposite him, at least peripherally. Also IMO he's gonna have A1's coach standing up right behind or next to him screaming about the foul on A1 whether there was in fact a foul or not.

Okay, so Lead sees the trap close in, sees the ball-holding player pivot his body so that C is blocked, sees the foul. Does Lead call it?
