I don't see how that is a clear out if it happens at the top of the key. Does everybody go down to the baseline?

Those officials do not seem to have a hard time covering that type of play. The NBA comparison is really a bad one if you ask me because a lot of the play is not more than a one on one match up with the other players standing around. That does not happen in HS and college basketball like it does in the NBA. And yes I can see a ball handler, the defender and the screener and even the player that is guarding the screener. And based on what I just told you, all those players will not even be where the lead would be looking. And if you think that is bad, then how is one guy going to officiate 8 players all by him or herself if you rotate away from all those players.
Look, do what you want, but in Illinois many despise the Women's mechanics. If you want to work the Women's mechanics, then go officiate Women's basketball. Rotating just because the ball is on one side is just a bad idea.

What mechanic is that? Not going across?
You are also incorrect in assuming the NBA has alot of one on one. It has a good amount of one on one, especially very late in ball games where players just have one superstar, but as much tape and as many games as I watch, the plurality of plays are of the Two man game sort.
I believe totally that you can see all the players in a two man game, but do you, being your own harshest critic, believe you can REFEREE them at the college level and higher?
Also the L, unless preoccupied by an aggressive match up in the post, which we don't have in this situation, should be looking up on the wing during the two man game to have two sets of eyes covering it. If it is more toward the top of the key then it should be between the Trail and the Slot official.
How much of an action area will you actually have that far away from the ball? All or the majority of the action happens around or near the ball.
Hey where I live many despise the mechanics too but I want to get the play right and in my opinion and the opinions of some of my bosses outside the area I live they believe this is the case as well.
I'll leave it at that, but to also say that I respect your opinions and always have, just in this case I am very adamant about what should take place here.
