I understand where you're coming from; I've been to a few of those camps, too. But how can Camron's guideline be too slow? You're going to rotate before you focus on a matchup or the ball?

I just assume if he is focused on something across the lane than something has happened or is happening before he gets there and gets a look. As we all know we want to see the play from the beginning and if we don't that is our fault and possibly another player's misfortune as we might have missed an earlier elbow or something of that nature. All in all I think the key to rotating is for the purpose of having the best coverage possible, and at this day and this time the testimonies seem to be that to get the best coverage possible is through having two officials on the same side of the ball as quick as possible, and as soon as possible, as well as beating any oncoming plays coming from the weakside to the strongside.

I understand the point you are trying to get across but the "accelerated lead" is not accepted practice in my High School association nor in 2 local D-III conferences here in Virginia.

This is something that most definitely has to be pre-gamed before being incorporated.

Also, even when working an accelerated lead I'm not going to rotate in Situation #3. By that time it's too late b/c any call you make will most likely mean you are calling it while on the move, a "no-no" according to the folks from whom I seek counsel.
