Differences
One of my partners for tonight's JV game is a varsity official for both associations. In this area we have one association for girls' basketball and one for boys'. Some officiate for both. I officiate for the girls' association
He asked me to give him feedback on what I saw him do. We discussed it after the varsity game. He and another boys' official named a couple of differences in expectations in mechanics.
1. I noticed that at one point he was lead and starting the transition to the other side. Halfway over the shot went up from C's area and he returned before the shot finished. He said that his association wants this while ours tells us to complete the rotation.
2. This one may have changed and I didn't hear about it. I remember that we were told that if the ball is to be inbounded on Lead's opposite side it would be alright to bounce the ball across the key rather than force a rotation. The boys' officials told us that they were told to move their lazy butts over and to never bounce the ball across the key.
I'll be checking to see if I've missed anything new since new does come down from the state during the state tournaments. Just thought I would share.
