Pass/Crash

[hoopguy]

I have been taking IAABO rules class for the last 5 weeks and justed passed the IAABO rules test. Last night was our first class on mechanics and we went over this very topic. The answer is... "Lead always follows the ball and trail takes the crash". This is according to our instructor with over 46 years experience as an official.

Can't say always....if a secondary defender is involved the Lead most often has the best look. Trail not have any idea secondary defender had LGP or was at that spot first.

Usually most philosophies are not covered in any manual. At least not one produced by the NF.

The way I was trained was to have the person who had the player (originally), stay with that player until they come back to the floor or they get under control.

As said, this is why you need to talk about this in pre-game. You need to know if anyone has different philosophies or opinions on what should be done. Then adjust to what ever you can agree with.
