Particularly when they then contradict their own POE.

Another NFHS POE this year - professionalism and using proper terminology.

Right. Amusing how the Pre-Season Guide just 5 pages later (p.14 article) then uses "marginal contact" twice instead of the proper terminology, "incidental contact."

Who's confused? I know a baseline when I see it.

I've been doing it for years in my low-level (and occasionally higher level) college games.
How does that work with the "up-down-rebound" coverage pattern that officials are instructed to use on shots? If Trail is responsible for the shot (the "up" part), then it stands to reason that he is also responsible for the shooter coming down safely, any contact against him, and rebounding activity. Thus, any look that the lead might have on this play is secondary.

What would you have done as the Lead to officiate both the pass-crash play a few seconds before the 3-point shot, and the F2 foul against the 3-point shooter?

My perspective is coming from working under an NCAA supervisor who preaches the "Lead-Corner Coverage" because of his background. There are several forms of this coverage: NBA = Lead all the way | NCAA = At least open up. If my particular supervisor was breaking down this coverage, he would likely say: LEAD take the shot | TRAIL look into the paint or help LEAD if there is not much action in paint | CENTER/SLOT take the paint. However, every case is different.

If I am in the game in question, this is what I would have likely done. I would be wide as LEAD and anticipate the pass and possible crash, since the offensive team had a player posted in the corner. You have to anticipate plays, not calls. Most of the pass and crashes are no calls because the play has moved to another area at the time of contact. Most of the time, the offensive player does not go "to and through", but this is not always the case. Once I determine that there is nothing on the pass and crash, I would then take the corner 3-point shot, and stay with the shooter UP and DOWN.

If the pass and crash was severe and a call did not come from LEAD, you always have CENTER/SLOT that should be helping with such a critical situation/play.

Just my 2 1/2 cents!

I get all of that, but that is not how it is taught across the country for everyone. This was a hard play to the lane and the pass was after there were all the players in the lane and there was a crash. I get what you might have been taught, but I have never heard a D1 official that works that level put that much emphasis on a corner three in transition when the play originated in the lane. Yes, in the halfcourt you might have a situation where the ball moves to the corner that the officials take a look over there (the ball is potentially coming to the lane or primary of the lead), but this was not a typical situation. Not to say that the official could not have seen some of the play, but he had about 6 or 7 players in the lane. The C might not have the angles for all those players. The Lead does not have their primary outside the 3 point line. The Lead has most of the lane. This would have been at best a secondary coverage call and one where the Trail clearly saw this play. The Trail did not hesitate one bit to make this call. There was even a debate that was had in an association meeting where we were reviewing a play and the college official said that he should not have had a call in the lane in transition (and this was in transition) and it sparked a heavy debate in that meeting. So clearly everyone is not on board with the things you are saying. Good discussion, but it certainly is not something everyone is going with when you say that is how this play should be covered. I am not saying you are wrong, just saying that is not everyone's perspective on this play or how we cover these plays.

Peace

I agree that we are all going to have different perspectives. What I was hoping to accomplish was to move away from critiquing whether it was an F2 Personal or Technical Foul and examine the positioning of the officials in view - mainly LEAD. This is where, IMO, critique needs to happen first before moving into call accuracy. As a result, the discussion illuminated different perspectives on coverage. It naturally occurs given the varying backgrounds of conference supervisors - past NCAA or NBA officials - and how they teach their officials.

Great discussion!
