When does it become your primary...

[ronny mulkey]

In our pre-game yesterday, involving 12 officials by the way, we had a spirited discussion that boiled down to:

When do you assume the lead primary responsibilities( specifically,on ball coverage) on the other side of the lane as/after you rotate over to ball side?

1. Do you referee where you came from? If so, until exactly what point?

2. During your rotation, let's say 1 step past the fartherest lane line, do you go on ball? Or, do you let the C stay with a play on the ball?

3. Do you stay off ball but pick up a competitive matchup "in front" of you and stay with that matchup until when....

Our discussion led to several different answers. I would love to hear what you experts think on this matter.
