I noticed that the white official on the end closer to guy with video camera as lead rotated as a kid was launching a three.... if you are L and a kid catches a
ball outside of arc wide open,the shot is going up. You are rotating as he is in act of shooting. This throws off court coverage for T and C....

Finally....the lead has a play on this end where the kid rides out the taller rebounder. Hold your whistle a second longer and that play becomes a try ( 2 ft throws ) as the big gets the rebound. Yes you have a foul but if the big can play through the initial ride out give him a shooting foul.....

Why would you not want to go ball side as lead...?

Rotating is fine, just pre-game if you're going to finish or not on a shot. I've never been on a crew that finishes. Just go back if it keeps the crew in good position.

Why are you penalizing defense giving phantom FTs?

Where did he say he doesn't want to go ball side?

Everyone I've ever heard has said if a shot is imminent, hold off a second. This is how rotations get missed. Not a huge deal, but easily avoided sometimes.

Didn't fully understand what this meant.

You never rotate from a wide angle position -- you only rotate from a close down position. If you mirror the ball properly, this is never an issue.

Oh, thanks!

I have my final game of the interscholastic season later this afternoon--its a district playoff game-- and I'm going out with a "bang".

I watched the whole game. Overall, nice job. Congrats on getting to Lakeland. BTW...my association initially was assigned to that game. One of the teams in that final was from our area, so they were re-assigned...not sure which game they ended up on.

They were reassigned to the 3A game, which is the game we were originally assigned.

I respectfully disagree with this mentality. I want to go ball side if the clues are present, i.e. there's a post matchup present or anticipated, or if a wing/corner play is setting up opposite me. Short of that, the crew is better off moving less, which helps us see plays develop better. If the C can handle the workload, let him have it while L focuses on secondary defenders.

Another thing is that the longer the basketball officiating community has been doing 3p, the better we've been getting at understanding secondary coverages (curl plays, frontside open looks, etc.). Again, less movement is better than more for a crew well-versed in secondary coverage.

I'm not saying don't rotate. I'm saying do so with a purpose. It's not about lead being ball side so much as it is the crew as a whole being in the best position to maximize primary and secondary coverage views. Sometimes that means not rotating.

What mentality? I asked a question and you gave a good answer. As far as moving more/less, it probably depends on the person. Although, when I think about this it's more of correctly/incorrectly moving/not moving.
