Depends on which Woddy we're talking about...

One would take a dump, turn around & clean himself off, bark a few times at the kids passing by, burp, lie down and take a nap.

Not sure what Woddy the dog would do tho.

One of them also drools a lot and tries to hump your leg.

I keep forgetting which one, though.

Why is it it that, even if there's 40 people at a party, the dog will try to hump your leg, M? Is it an ingrained reflex action? Or is it because they're smart enough to pick out the person who's easy?

Just wondering, is all.....

Sound advice on all accounts. I would just add...when you think you got it down...watch out. 3 man is complicated but when ran right makes a lot of sense. Yes, don't forget to referee. Remember angles. If you have the angle make the call. Other words if you can see off. man def. man and ball...you probably have a good look. Ref the play. Your partners will adjust. Also, don't follow the ball. Ref your area and KNOW where the ball is. Anticipate the plays and not the calls. Angles, angles angles. Try to put yourself in the best possible position to make call. Example when at C ref plays to the basket hard. Take a good position to see it all the way to the basket. Also, be ready at t to ref rebounds and don't leak out to early to rush down the floor.
Good luck.

This is good advice for 3-whistle or 2-whistle.

I don't know why, but it seems in 3-man it's easier to pick up the bad habit of ball watching. Ref your primary area first and foremost. I'd also advise you to get a veteran or two that you really trust to watch you and critique you. I don't know if they use 3-man in all levels in your area or not, but if you can get the varsity officials to watch you in a JV game and ask them to give you one or two things to work on - and then work on it. I know guys that have been at this for 20 years and realize they don't know everything. (I also know guys that have been at this for 2 and already know it all.) It sounds like you are going to be the former and not that later - that's a good thing.

Good luck to you.

First couple of 3 mans that I did I just tried to fous on calling things in my area, and since I had I two partners who had done 3 man for years, if I didnpt have to report the foul, I hesitated a secnd, then went to where they weren't. The flow isn't bad when you don't overthink it. If I were to sit here right now and think about where to go in which situation, except for when reporting the foul, I'd have to pull out my 3-man mechanics book --WHICH IS A VERY GOOD INVETMENT, BY THE WAY! -- and review it. But if I got a call and had to go out RIGHT NOWand just do a a game it becomes fairly natural movents pretty quickly.
