BLARGE

[ronny mulkey]

Rut,

Is there one, and only one, mechanic philosophy on crashes to the basket? Can you share your understanding of the primaries on dribbles to the basket? On passes to the basket? Secondary defenders?

When you have those outlined, can you explain how you get your partners to recognize when the play is not in their primary on wham bam plays that are 1 inch outside of their primaries? We have gone in at halftime and have had 3 different opinions on where the play originated and the spot of the crash. And, when reviewed on tape, none of us were correct on both.

If it is simply a matter of mechanics, (I will ask this question one more time), how can the people doing the games on TV not understand these mechanics?

If you are having the occasional blages, then someone does not trust their partner or does not understand who has the ball in their primary. This is not just an issue of pre-game. This is an issue of understanding the mechanics. If you have little understanding of the mechanics (especially in 3 person) it does not matter what you say in the pregame. Pregame is just to remind the officials of their responsibility, it is not for the purpose to teach the official what the mechanics are.
