1. Watch the flight of the ball 2. Once the ball is no longer in flight watch rebounding action How do we reverse priorities here? Makes zero sense. You simply cannot reverse this because #1 happens BEFORE #2. |
I don't think we should even get into the #1 and #2 discussion that's about to happen! :-)

Hitting the support/going over the backboard is going to become obvious when it happens. So, I agree that I reverse the priorities (rebounding, then flight of ball), and then return to rebounding action. |
Gotta love the little witch hunt, but seriously, what is the likelihood of the ball hitting a support, going over the backboard, BI or GT compared to rebounding contact which may be illegal?
You might see a violation 1 every 50 shots...100 shots...200 shots. You will see rebounding contact on a shot 50 out of 50 shots...100 shots...200 shots. You guys don't care for Nevada, we get it, but you are doing everyone that reads the forum a disservice when you disagree just for the sake of disagreeing, when in fact, he's 100% correct in the priorities in this instance. |

There is rebounding action on nearly every shot I don't care where you are or what level you work there is not a potential BI/GT on nearly every shot.
So disagree with the odds all you want, it doesn't change the fact that the potential for illegal contact during rebounding action far outweighs the potential for a ball violation. This is even more of an issue with only two officials, where making decisions on priorities is even greater. That said, of course you can't tunnel vision on either, but you do need to put more focus on rebounding action with ball flight getting a secondary look. |

We've gotten away from the original question and instead are having silly squabbles. My main point was that watching the flight of the ball is not what I'm going to be doing. I'm going to be watching the players, first and foremost. This will allow me to watch for BI and GT. I'll also be aware of the ball so I can get it hitting a support or going over the backboard. |

So I guess players don't fight for position and box out on made shots around your area, huh?:rolleyes: |

The answer simply is that it depends. But if the ball goes in "rebounding action' generally amounts to heads up, legs flexed, establishing position. The real rebounding action comes when the ball misses. But if I'm T in a 2 man game (not doing much of that anymore but I've done my share) I'm watching (my priority is) the flight of the ball on the release, unless the shot comes out of my area then I'm watching (my priority is) to make sure the shooter doesn't get mugged. Then I'm watching (my priority is) the flight of the ball. Then off the miss I'm watching (my priority is) the rebounding. And in there somewhere I'm checking to see that the shot clock got handled properly if it applies. Pretty simple. My 'priority' depends on where in the sequence I am. The sequence doesn't change very often. |

Naw, don't think so. |

I just can't agree with that. I watch the players - including those who may be able to commit goaltending, and as the shot approaches the rim I then watch the basket/ball for BI. But I always get a fix on where the players are and what they're doing as the shot goes up. It let's me have a much better idea of what's happening on rebounding action if the shot is missed. |
