Caught in the Slot?
Somebody can correct me if this isn't quite true or if I'm delving into hyperbole. But sometimes a person in a 3 man crew can get "Caught in the Slot".
Assuming your crew prioritizes having two men "ball-side", the center can feel that he doesn't have much action to call. Especially if you have two good, clean teams, neither of which is committing fouls on the center's primary side of the court, the center may well not have much to call in spite of the avid attention s/he is giving to primary. Without reporting a foul, s/he wouldn't be switching to tableside. The tableside and lead officials get into a rhythm of switching with each other time after time after time.
This may especially be true if you happen to have two teams, each of whom have set offensive plays only to one side of the floor, which I've seen.
No biggie if you're not getting any calls. As long as you're overseeing your primary.
Anyone else sensed this reason for the situation?
