Even if there is no competitive match-ups in your PCA when the shot goes up, do we really need to extend in the direction of the shooter? Extending to the rebounding area of the court would be wiser IMHO... I'm not speaking on fast break situations, just typical half-court settings. |

But, that is what the signal means - that official is watching the shooter. If I see two officials signal a 3-point attempt, I know two officials are watching the ball. It is the same reason you will not see 2 officials with a closely-guarded count. That signal is for the on-ball official.

Agreed. You can get teh same thing in 3-person -- if both the T and the C indicate the attempt, the crew gets downgraded. |

Ahh yes, mj's pet peeve #86. I pre-game this almost every game I do 3 person. If both the C and the T mark a three pointer, the C should drop it and focus on the flight of the shot and then rebounders. The T then stays with the shooter.

What about on a quick steal or fast break where the trail hasn't recognized the change of possession and is too far behind the play to see if it is a three-point attempt or not. In that case would the Lead give the preliminary three-point indication even if the shot were attempted at the top of the key out of the Leads primary area but in a spot where he could still visually see that it was a three-point attempt? |

I've had a couple veterans tell me that if I'm Lead and I signal, they won't signal at all as Trail and let me have it the whole way.
But going back to what you guys are talking about: If I'm Trail and the Lead signals, should I never mirror the attempt at all, but just mirror the good 3-point shot instead? |

In your above description, if the shot is from the Cs PCA, but the T & C both have the attempt, then the T should find something else to referee. |

Asked and answered. See post #7.

If the T is still in the BC, then the whole FC is the lead's primary. |

There will always be plays that are in BOTH PCAs....player has one foot in each. There will always be situations where the officials will double signal legitimately....no way around it.

No doubt, when the shot comes from a grey area perhaps two officials hands will initially go up for the attempt. But the people I work for expect officials to be cognizant when a partner is already officiating that play, drop it & referee elsewhere.

That was the play I was referring to above. Thank you for clarifying Camron.
