Rolling under the play.
"Rolling under" is just another term for "opening low." I always do this. You get a great angle between the players on a potential drive, and all you have to do is follow it in while the L is covering the secondary defenders.
I respectfully disagree with Camron about moving up toward the division line. How many times does something of consequence happen up there as compared to the semi circle and below? Why would I want to take myself in the opposite direction from where the basketball is going? Why would I want to observe plays from farther away? And as for getting beat going the other way....an acceptable risk considering there are ways (the button hook, for example) to get good temporary angles while you're transitioning to new lead. And not every transition is a fast break; getting beat is an unfounded fear 85% of the time. In summary, I love the OHSAA effort to move toward "rolling under." Watched the Marquette/AZ St. game this evening and saw all of the officials doing it. I think JD is advocating it. Three officials in your TV picture will be more common this year and that's why. On another note, I have NOT seen consensus yet on how to stand as the lead (parallel, modified, or 45). Three camps, three different emphases. Guess ya just gotta do it the way your assigner wants. Wish we could get a more universal opinion on this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Heard from an NBA guy the other night that they have done studies on the number of correct whistles/no calls from Trail either 1) being closer to the division line and stepping onto the court to see the matchup or 2) hugging the sideline and getting below the matchup. He said their call percentage was significantly better from hugging the sideline and getting below the matchup. Take that for what it's worth.

If that is the rationale , I would be fine with it. But it wasn't expressed that way. Tipton didn't like goings under so he might not been inclined to mention that. The other thing that was brought up was the L bounce the ball to the throw in on anything on the sideline bow the FTE and the T keeping the count. |

Why should the Trail have to go down there to administer the throw-in when the Lead is 3 feet away? ![]()

So it seems like Ohio is not 100% NFHS mechanics.

Please Forgive the Length...
NFHS mechanics:
Lead bouncing the ball across the corner to administer a throw-in is... ...allowed for two-person ("The throw-in is administered by the official responsible for the boundary line.")... ...but not for three-person ("In the frontcourt, the throw-in is administered by the official responsible for the boundary line.") Simple enough. But let's not, for the sake of a mechanic either cherished or detested, overlook one significant thing: It's a legitimate PCA issue more than anything. I.e., after distributing the ball to the thrower, what kind of surveillance is the administering official providing? New officials, particularly, are -- I think due to an engrained habit picked up by the legitimate two-person mechanic -- inclined to focus on the player defending the thrower and the thrower him/herself to the detriment of low post play. Lead's focus on the torsos and the elbows of players in his primary away from the throw-in goes lacking. This is the problem seen also with many Lead officials doing three-person who bounce the ball across the corner. Rather than pass the surveillance of the thrower and defender there off to the Trail and turning attention inward, his/her need for avid attention on the jostling going on in his/her primary down low is ignored. This is observed time and time and time again with new officials. Enough that it's just a lot easier maintaining the correct three-person mechanic stated above and teach the Lead to look inside during the throw-in, unencumbered by the perceived need or lingering habit to look at the throw-in outside his/her primary. Good officials at Trail can easily perform this prescribed mechanic and they are observed doing so regularly without incident. There's really no good reason, other than personal preference and perhaps expediency, to vary from the mechanic, if that's what you're asked to follow. Is this a legitimate point?
