I agree with all this, in theory. But this weekend I was watching a girls' varsity tournament with very, very good refs. In every game I watched (6) there was at least one foul that was very obvious to all the fans that had the angle, but no ref within view. I started to wonder if the coaches were teaching their kids how to foul in this "blind corner". None of these refs ever slid across not even to the jump circle. Lead wasn't scooted out to the edge, either. Most of these folks have worked quite a bit of college, including some D2 and even one who has worked D1. Why isn't anyone sliding over? Is the college 3-person habit working against these people? I'm not speaking with disrespect, just trying to learn from what I saw.
