Times are Changing
Well it will be a lot easier here in NY this year to resolve this discussion as the calling official on a shooting foul will now be table side. New HS mechanics starting to emulate three whistle mechanics.

NYS Change
Not sure about the Federation, but HS Girls which follow NCAA is going to this across the state and so are JUCCO women. You're right, if trail calls a shooting foul he/she will either walk & talk over to the table and remain there or just turn and report the foul if already there. No switch. Just got back from our state meeting this weekend and now I have to go back and teach all of our old dogs a new trick.

Isn't the trail in two-person opposite the table on shooting fouls? |

New Mechanics
Well let me try and clear up some of the confusion I created. When I referenced "shooting" foul I was trying to use it in terms of the original example, but you're right. This year in NCAA Womens, which is what we follow in NY for HS Girls ball, the new two person mechanics is for the calling official to go table side. If you're shooting FT's, then you will be table side as trail, no longer opposite. For the most times, whenever you call a foul, regardless of whether you're shooting FT's, the calling official will end up table side this year. Now I'm not going to go into all the mechanics and exceptions to the new mechanics as there are some as you can imagine. What they are trying to accomplish is to get the calling official near the benches ala three person mechanics. Not sure if the CCA two person manual is going to show this as I haven't seen one as of yet.

As far as the original topic of this thread goes, I don't think they did anything wrong. Sometimes it is hard to grant a timeout in this situation. The trail has a minimum of 4 players to watch, the shooter and 3 people behind the line. I say at least 3 people depending on pre-game and how many players are in lane spaces. With 6 players along the lane if the done by the book doesn't the lead have 3 players to watch compared to the trail's seven? Three of these seven could be all the way at the other end of the court doing all kinds of things to each other. The trail also chops the clock for a missed free throw. The trail should also make sure the clock starts if the free throw does not go in because the trail could have action directly in front of him. During a press the trail also has to find a happy medium of help and watching players in what is to become the new front court. Taking all of this into account and mentally putting myself in this position, the coach better REQUEST the timeout because there is max of about 6 seconds (two to get the ball and four to throw it in) until it is too late for him. Six seconds is a short time when doing all of the above.
Why would you have to turn your back to grant the timeout when the trail should be facing the table? If the answer is you are talking about the lead then I don't buy that because the lead will definatly have their hands full. Why can't you tell the coaches voice from someone else's voice after 31+ minutes. This is a small detail but something that can get you over the hump. Is you positioning such that you can't see something out of the corner of your eye? The same sideline the coach is behind is your responsibility! I think the right position would allow you to see the coach motioning for something. I still think the onus is on the coach for this timeout. We, as officials can only be mechanically sound for the court action and attempt to catch the request. I've officiating a two-person game and stayed table side for shooting fouls. In all situations I can think of it should be said that the calling official will go table side ONLY on shooting fouls. All other situations would be a switch and since there are only two people you go where your partner was and your partner goes to the designated spot to take the ball out. |

I'm not sure but you might be lost

All other arguments aside, the official (in general the Trail, who is facing the table) must recognize the situation and expect a request. To glance at the bench following a made shot is nothing. It is very simple and requires very little effort. It occurs automatically as you leave the rebounding action and turn to head down the court into the Lead position. In my opinion, it is obviously incumbent upon the Trail official to recognize the need and it is incumbent upon the coach to make the visual request. Otherwise, missed opportunity. Question of NCAAdude. So, if in 2-man mechanics, the Trail is going to stand with his back to the benches (within earshot of the shooting team's coach) is the Lead going to also move across the key? Seems to be contrary positioning. Now Trail cannot see the benches or scorekeeper (should be watching the rebounding action). Now Trail is next to the "HOT" area raising potential for angry coach interaction rather than requiring the coach to yell across the court if he wants to be stupid. If Lead moves to the other side, (which I assume he must to maintain the boxing-in principle) he is now looking through all the players and rebounding action to see benches and scorekeeper area and partner. What is the advantage is this change???? Perhaps I'm lost too?

Downtown, it is not "incumbent" on either official to recognize the need. See, that is part of our problem, we can anticipate but if you think you should recognize the need then you need to be coaching.
As far as an official being in the "hot spot" goes, the changes have occured to bring the calling official closer to the coaches so there isn't any yelling across the court. We have to have the courage to make calls and communicate with coaches. Communication is a must! |
