help with 3 man rotation

Most B/C happen deep with that help defender. Lead ball-side has a great look at the offense leaving the floor and the guarding position of that help defender. Lead at close down, has a better idea of that help defender coming from their primary on a drive from C, so even without a rotation lead has the best look at the B/C.

The reason for the notation was:

One it's the way everyone was doing it and how it was being taught.

Two they hope it cuts down on blarges if T and C have hits and pushes on ball and lead only has the help defender and B/C.

There is also nothing in that notation that suggests that lead has the entire paint as you said eariler...in fact, what it says is EXACTLY what several people had already said and you disagreed with.

Can you explain then why it is called a "mechanics change" - do they typically put notations in a "mechanics change" section? Also the way it is stated says that "L has primary responsibility for blocks/charges INSIDE THE LANE"...as we both know L's primary is not the entire lane. Therefore is it a stretch to say that L has the primary responsibility for blocks/charges that occur outside of L's traditional primary? And relax getting all pissy already, I'm not "disagreeing" with anyone when it comes to the college mechanic, I'm not arrogant enough to assume that I have mastered it since I am new to it. All I am trying to do is determine if it is different from the NF mechanic, and understand how the CCA manual is written vs. how it is applied.....this whole thing goes back to the fact that L DOES need to reach across and help C at times both NF and NCAA, that was my whole point for bringing it up in the first place...

You said, incorrectly, that lead had ALL THE PAINT not primary responsibility on one particular call.

You then said it's what the manual said, incorrectly, because the manual said EXACTLY what several said that lead had the secondary defender which usually is B/C.

As I clearly stated in my last post...the change was added because THAT IS HOW EVERYONE WAS DOING IT AND TEACHING IT.

Ugh chat boards can be frustrating....I think this took on a direction that was never intended, I don't recall saying that the "lead has all of the paint", but if I said it in that way, if you read back through, the point I was intending to make to tomegun was that L CAN and DOES help out C on action that is not in his/her primary, ie. across the paint. I used the NCAA mechanic to make that point and I believe it does support that point with this mechanic change/emphasis/ whatever you want to call it, even if I didn't describe it 100% correctly - recall I didn't have the manual yesterday, I just quoted it this morning...I don't disagree with any of you re: the NCAA mechanic, all I am trying to figure out is, is this really a difference from NCAA and NF whereby in NCAA, L helps out on the block/charge with the secondary defender? It seems like if L has the ability to do this in NCAA, then L would also have the ability to do this in NF...
