It's a foul, isn't it?

That's cool, Jeff, but I'm thinking he can get to the division line a little faster and monitor both. Once he sees those players come off the bench, IMO, that becomes a priority. I count 11 seconds from the time the whistle is blown until the new L comes back into frame. That's a decent amount of time to be at one end of the court when five players have come off the bench at the other end.

I am moving up to officiate that action. If that doesn't force the L to rotate, I will move back to normal C position after I have officiated the action at the division line. Also, at the NCAA-M level, many camps are teaching the L to rotate before the T has made it to the frontcourt, if and when the action of the players dictates such a move. The idea of waiting for the T to make it into the frontcourt before a rotation can occur is going by the wayside.

I'm cool with this and I've heard the same at NCAAW meetings as well. I'm just saying what's in the manual(s). Regardless, for whatever reason it didn't seem as though the C had much inclination to move closer to the play. That's also a matter of knowing the situation, i.e. the time/foul count info I brought up. There had been 14 fouls in 10½ minutes up to that point. Getting closer to the play - on anyone's part - would have been a good thing.
