What about the rotation by the lead? What about the foul call (I believe the official calls a push).
Feel free to bring in any other points you find relevant.

1. Why are they using a 30-second shot clock instead of 35 for boys?
2. The dribbler did not get his second foot into the frontcourt before 20. It was a 10-second violation, however, it is possible that this event isn't using that rule given that the shot clock is so short, like NCAAW. In watching other games, I'm not seeing the Trail official with a visible backcourt count.
3. The rotation either should not have occurred (pure NFHS mechanics = wait until the ball settles on that side in the frontcourt, which it never did) or happened sooner (NBA mechanic = Lead gets over there as soon as he can discern that the play will be coming from that side, the old Trail hustles up from the backcourt and becomes the C). This caused him to have an awkward look at the defender challenging the shot while he was in the middle of making his rotation.
4. As the Lead, if I get caught in the middle of a late rotation (and I certainly have), I've learned that it is best to let the C make the decision on this play as he has been observing it from start to finish. Although I may be closer, the C likely has a better perspective on the action.
Other comment: This tournament is in the backyard of one of our longtime posters from whom we haven't heard in quite a while. I hope that he shows up to make a comment or two.
