Things from camp

[Larks]

Some of the stuff we covered

Divide court into 3 "lanes"
- near sideline to near lane line extended - lane one.
- near lane line extended to far lane lne extended - lane two.
- far lane line extended to far sideline - lane three

Having said that:

If ball is coming into the FC from the BC in transition in lane 3 - New lead rotate even if the old lead hasnt crossed div line yet. In this case - old lead needs to be aware and bust it to C

Offense in front court - ball kicks over to lane 3 and defense is in a man, rotate even if it's a one on one over there. 95% chance a drive or a post man coming over for entry pass anyway.

If D is in zone, maybe wait until ball drops below FT line extended before you rotate.

But in all cases, find a reason to rotate. Two officials ball side.

Dont shoot across lane - The percentages I heard was you go from 90% correct to 50% calling out of primary.

Get out on the floor in T....WORK hard and fight for angles in T.

Try to Balance the Floor - Block down here, Block down there especially if it's a 50/50 call.

Let the defense block shots. We call too many fouls on what is really good D / incidental contact.

4 Prin of officiating....

1. Stay in your Primary (Esp Lead - dont shoot across the lane)
2. Call the Obvious.
3. Ref the D
4. Trust your partners

We watched a couple SEC tapes and I was amazed to hear even at that level.....STAY IN PRIMARY / CALL OBVIOUS / REF D / TRUST.
