I can't really comment intelligently on the NBA philosophy. (Keep it to yourself, JR!!) One thought that crossed my mind is that in any 3-whistle situation, if 8 or all 10 players are on the far side of the floor, then it's actually a GOOD thing for the C to extend his/her coverage area past the far lane line. Maybe everybody was on that side of the floor and the C had a good look at the back of the play. (Or maybe the bodies had piled up between the ball and the L and T). Just a thought.
