I have worked the NBA system and NF. They are not mutally exclusive. My goal is always get the the baseline as a new lead before the ball gets to mid court. It requires some hustle but You need to be there. How can a person ref the lead when the ball is in front court and you are still moving to baseline. I have seen officials 4' off the baseline when ball is in mid court.

I don't get this. I've never been told to be at the endline before the ball gets to mid-court. In fact, I've been told NOT to be that far ahead of the play. What am I missing? Does it depend on where the other players are in relationship to the ball?

That's the NBA philosophy, Juulie. They want lead there as soon as possible and best case before the ball crosses half-court.
As I said earlier the former commissioner in Arizona embraced this philosophy and evaluated officials based on it. It really hurt the game and lead to bad habits.
