I realize this would put 2 refs on-ball in this situation but something really should be done about the rash of missed travel calls. I believe it was on this web site where I read about the huge number of missed travel calls in many state finals proving that this is a national problem.

In the League the T is already picking up feet as the L has body contact & the C is prepared for the curl play. It's called Team Officiating. I doubt you'll see it in any HS books anytime soon as WE are too hung up on PCAs at that level. There are a few type of plays that the League require 2 sets of eyes on. There are 2 sides to a screen, aren't there? When you're working with likeminded individuals, I see nothing wrong with incorporating higher level philosophies for court coverage into any level game to make it better. Working HS games, sometimes the R wants double whistles to go to the L sometimes to T. Those are NCAA M&W philosophies in the HS game, right? Nevermind, I've said too much...
