Missing the point

Likewise, if a player is posting up on the C's side and the ball is anywhere on that side of the court, I'm likely going across. If I wait untiol the ball's passed into the post, I've waited too long.
Just using common terminology, Rich. Personally, I don't think a trap 5' from the top of the key in the C's PCA warrants a rotation but that's another conversation.

The point is there are situations that can occur where the ball will be in the FC where the C would have to make the BC violation call, not the T.

At least IMO.
