We need to stop thinking that the T is not well-positioned to see these kind of things. The L sometimes has the WORST view if the play is up high and with the ball going to the basket, what else is the T going to be looking at?

Truth is, we have 3 officials with 3 very different views. If one of them has the right view to come get a foul, come get the foul. When someone's taking it to the hole everyone should have an initial look before moving to rebounding action.

Since we have 3 officials, there's no need to guess -- if you're the L and don't see a foul, stay off it and trust the outside guys are looking too.

Staying in your primary has crept into places where it's not really applicable -- we're not talking about a dribbler on the perimeter here, after all.
