Right Again

Jurassic Referee: You're right again. After viewing the video, the officials did make the correct call, 100%, no arguement from me. I was just trying to add a hypothetical situation where some preventative officiating might have prevented this violation. As you pointed out, something that I didn't notice, is that the lead official didn't even have the whistle in his mouth. It's tough to blow the whistle when it's not in your mouth. Hypothetically, too bad the other two officials didn't catch this while the ball was still dead, but I'm not familiar enough with three man mechanics, and primary coverage, to make any pertinent comments. Almost all of our high school games here in Connecticut are two man games.

Also, there are several violations that could have been called in this situation. I believe that the easiest violation to explain, in watching the video, one that leaves little to argue about, is that the player moves into a marked lane space after the ball is at the disposal of the shooter.
