Rich,
I don't doubt that you are right about what the current NCAAW mechanic is, but I have to say that in my opinion this is silly.

This placement does not put the official in the best location to observe the game action. Certainly when there is backcourt pressure, the official ought to be strong side.

I would hope that the NCAAW committee would look at this play from this particular game and change the mechanic.


FWIW, I also don't care for bouncing across in the backcourt when there is no defensive pressure. I think that it looks lazy.


It puts the center in a great position, though.

I think in 3-person it doesn't matter a great deal.
