Also, keep your shoulders at a 45-degree angle to the end line.
2. The L's body is facing the wrong way, meaning he won't be able to see into the lane (which is where the BH/dribbler is going) without turning his head and body all the way around. This leads to...
3. I froze the video at the point where it appears the defender had both feet on the floor with her torso facing the new BH/dribbler. I'm not sure whether the call was correct because I can't see the defender's heels but in relation to the RA but I feel it should have been a PC. Regardless, I think the L was guessing on whether the defender obtained LGP...and it all goes back to point #1.
Yes, I now realize/remember it wouldn't be an RA play due to the offensive player beginning her move in the LDB...my mistake. See below.
D. Williamson spoke to us in DC about not being "sucked into the paint" as the L. She joked that she's going to call every school and ask them to check for a black hole next to the lane that draws in all of us. I know I'm going to try to be more conscious in 3-person games but also in my HS/2-person games.

I will tell you that I've learned from my assignor (and at camps this summer) that we need to start at wide angle position and work our way in when the ball is strong side coming up the floor. The only time we should set up at close down is when the ball is coming up the floor on the weak side.

This is clearly in the L's primary. Below the FTLE is all lead. I agree with JetMet in that the L on this play did not position themselves correctly in order to properly officiate their entire primary area.

If you watch his head it is following the ball in to the post play and has to physically turn his body just to see the play. I would argue that the Trail's new primary is in the post on the strong side of the floor and the Lead should allow Trail first crack. CCA Manual for the Women's side actually gives this responsibility to the Trail when the Lead has a competitive matchup near the three point line.
Oh and this is a close play, but I'd have gone with offensive foul on this one.

Trail may have a good look at this play, but if they're going to have a whistle it should only be if the L doesn't have a whistle on the play. We're trying to get away from double whistles when the play is CLEARLY in someone else's primary area of coverage. In this play the illegal contact is clearly in the L's primary. Therefore, he should have first crack at the play, and only if the L passes on this play the T should be able to come in and have a whistle if they deem there to be illegal contact.
Page 61 in the CCA Manual!
Oh, and I have a charge on this play.
