A couple of 3-whistle questions

[Junker]

What everyone else has said is pretty universal I think. I've never heard anything different. As far as reaching across the lane, you don't want to make a habit of it, but as always, if there's a train wreck, be patient, if the C doesn't grab it, you need to go get it. My biggest adjustment in going to 3 whistle (I should do this in two, but it doesn't seem to be as much a problem) is to make sure on a jump ball in the lane I just come in with my hand open, hitting the whistle and stopping play. I have the bad habit of going straight to the jump ball mechanic and in 3 whistle, with the extra pair of eyes, sometimes your C has a foul. I'm just adding that because writing it pounds it into my head.
