For example, if a trap happens anywhere on the C's side, I'm rotating as the lead, so the C can take a step out and properly officiate the trap. 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.

In our group of officials, if the C has to start officiating "on ball" there should be an immediate rotation.
