Do you have a reference for this?

Reference please?

If L is watching the ball making 5 count, who is watching the post players ball side?

I have NEVER saw the Lead official counting! But then again, what do Div I NCAA officials know!

thumper,
He is talking about 2-man crews, you are referencing DI NCAA which is 3-whistle. You are both right, but are not on the same page.

Sure, Bob. 302 on page 48 of the Officials Manual. It says, "The Center or Trail official, who has a five-second closely guarded count in the frontcourt,..." Nowhere in the 3-official procedures is the Lead ever mentioned along with a 5-second closely guarded count.
To my knowledge the only 5 second count the Lead could have is during a throw-in.

Great catch, Nevada!! Thanks. I needed that to take to my Sunday meeting.

Thanks.

I still don't agree with it, though. ;)

If L and T are both watching the ball, who's watching all the other stuff in L's area and in T's area?

I'm with you Bob...in NCAAW, when the L has the ball in their area (esp. out in the corner) they have to have the 5 second count...T will be watching the post players in that situation...

Thanks.
