OTOH, it's a little more difficult to see a ball handler travel or palm the ball, etc. Perhaps this is why officials sometimes miss an obvious travel violation, because he's so intent (maybe too much) on watching the defender?

I would add this...We know where the ball handler is going....to the hoop (and I use that loosely, they might be moving from wing to baseline to make a pass to the post or whatever) point being, the O's job is to get to the hoop and get the ball in there. As has been stated, if you focus on the ball handler, you have no idea if the D had LGP or if their movement caused the contact or if they beat the O to the spot and then contact happened OR if they are going down before contact. These coaches that cry about PC calls by saying "He (the D) was not set).....defender doesn't have to be "set".....it's about how he's moving and when/how the contact occurs....You can't know this watching the Offensive player.... Had one the other day where the defender was in LGP and moving with the the dribbler... on the drive dribbler lowered his shoulder and went Shaq on him....TWEET! PC! |

I've always contended that the 6th row provides the best view to see the contact (high & low) and also see the ball handler's feet to pick up any traveling violations.

Try always getting an open look and referee through the match-up...doing this gives you a good look at the play, means you can't lock on a single player and will help you nail those money calls (block/charge and illegal screens). |

The whole crowd cracked up and were surprisingly quiet the rest of the game. |
