It is in your primary, your call go get it it. If that means you need to go all the way over, so what?

Too many officaials think that we have to have the floor balanced and if we break that magic rule it some heresy in the officiating world. Even if you get stuck there lead can go across the floor pretty easy if needed...

There is nothing wrong with being in the middle of the floor, or far lane line or farther if there are a bunch of players over there. Mechanics help us get it right but we have to use function over form. Heck let's say that the play was right in fromt of the bench, the coach is standing right on top of it, and youre over there and you get it right. The coach cant complain. If you are 40 ft away they will have something to yell at.

What's an evaluator going to say, you got it right but you called from too close because you left the perfect mechanic...

That post sums it up about as well as any!
