I have never understood the people who want to watch opposite for violations AND rebounding action. Let's call across the lane AND through a crowd of people. This especially makes sense when the L positions him/herself wide outside the lane (sarcasm). These people never seem to have a rational in pre-game for this philosophy when confronted on their reasoning.
On a side note, I worked with an official last year who made the state tournament this year. He was the R for the game and wanted to split the responsibilities between the T and C 80/20. I guess the manual is just a suggestion. Was that change listed on the survey?
