I don't know what they teach in other areas...but around here this is a pre-game topic.
There are times when NOTHING is happening in your primary. When at C and 10 players are on the strong side of the court, we are taught to move onto the floor and EXPAND OUR PRIMARY so we can get the push in the back, illegal screen, holding of the back of the jersey, etc. I get the impression that according to some on this board, the C should never make that call because it is not in the C's primary as drawn in the book. Let the T live and die with it...after all, he should be able to watch the play in front of him AND see through all the traffic to get that call. At L, when all the play is above the free-throw line and the offense is buring the clock at the end of the game...are you just standing thing humming show tunes or are you expanding your primary looking for blatant holds, pushes, etc. that the defense may WANT called so they can put the 60% FT shooting post player on the line and not the 95% FT shooter handling the ball?
Just like there are reasons we have "primary" coverage areas, there are reasons we have "secondary" responsibilities. I get the impression from some of these post that some would be angry if there was a double whistle during one of their 3-official games.
