I don't think there's one set answer. You see some stuff from out wide, you see some stuff from in close. It really depends on what kind of defense is being played and each individual drive to the basket.

SOME? Yes. MOST in my area? Yes. I have no idea what goes on in the west coast.

Would the play dictate what to do? I can't see how. I can understand moving in to see the play until the shot goes up, but once the shot is in the air, its about getting 3 different angles. I guess the old saying, "when in Rome" applies to you area.

I've been eading these threads with great interest, especially as I started it off!
I'm an English FIBA ref working in Europe. Next season all main FIBA competitions will have 3PO. A lot of the pro-leagues in each country - Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Belgium already have this in their domestic competition, and the Euroleague (Non-FIBA proleague which will be screened by NBA TV shortly in the US) has had it for 4 years now. When the EL started it was basically using NCAA mechanics, and emphasis was on the L getting to the paint on drives to the basket. Allowing for some regional differences in the style of play - Mainly players 20 - 35 years of age, high speed, very physical games (more akin to NBA), I could understand this, but I felt that if the C was more active on the opposite side, then the L would not need to move AS MUCH. OK Never say never and never say always.........there may be times to get the right angle and therefore the right call, which is what we all want. But.......looking at NBA games, and we now have a lot of europeans coming to the NBA from these leagues, the L hardly ever goes to the paint. If we assume that there is a little difficulty in communication and culture, i.e. a crew could be a Serbian, a Spaniard and an Italian, none of whom will have english as there first language, plus the regional/cultural heirachy which may exist, which is the safest framework/simplest framework to adopt in your view. I know there may not be a right/wrong answer, but am interested in peoples points of view...............? |

Okay - Agreed,
But is it the simplest, does it require more experience? Both of the meachanics and the level of the game? Okay we should strive for the best, but the system they have now is not what they started with, so what's the best starting point? |
