help with 3 man rotation

[QUOTE=kbilla] same on rebounding action, most of those fouls will come from C or L....

Don't you mean most rebounding action will come from C or T. Rarely should the lead have a push from behind.

Really simple.

Relax and don't forget to officiate the game.

As lead, try to put your partners in the best position to officiate and that will lead to proper rotations, if you feel like you should be looking over there you should be moving over there.

As trail you will be able to see the lead go across, just fill in as they do.

As center if you are reffing on ball, you should be expecting a rotation, and you can easily pick up the old trail moving down as lead comes over.

In any case just get where you need to be to call the game and let the mechanics iron themselves out from there.

As you start getting the "feel" of it, the trust of your partners begins to grow and you'll find it even easier to move, ref, and cover the court.

I've been watching a couple games and I just couldn't figure out what was going on. Sometime the C was dropping down sometimes not. Sometimes there were Two C and these were experienced refs.
Are high school and NCAA same movement? I found it easier to understand watching NCAA. When I read about it I'm sure I will understand it more.

1. You can not over rotate.
2. Double whistles are OK.
3. Be strong at C.

It seems that in NCAA games I have watched, the C & T take far more latitude as far as how far up and back they work than what they teach you in camps - at least NF camps....usually in NF it is a step or two above or below the FT line for C, but some of these guys work halfway to the baseline as C sometimes...I suppose it comes back to get in the best position to see the play, makes sense...

I know I take far more latitude than many at C - depending on the type of offense being run. I like to be above the players on the wing, not below, and to do this at times I have to get more than two steps above the FT line extended. Not often, but I still do it.

I used to work below, but I found I couldn't keep an eye on secondary plays in my primary very well, and I often got straightlined on drives to the basket on the baseline side.

I also step quite a ways down in quick transition plays at the hoop - about halfway down the lane, though this isn't much more than 2 steps from the FT line extended.

Had my first three person in Dec...have my other varsity game Friday...weirdest thing for me was the decrease in calls that everyone makes. Overall, the same number of calls are made during the course of the game...it's just that YOU don't blow the whistle as much as there is another official. After my first game, I was thinking that I didn't blow the whistle as much...then I realized that with another official on the court...the calls are more spread out!
