Looking for a Toe

Don't mean to sound picky, but shouldn't you be watching the other action closer to you in your primary? (guess I'm who fiasco's talking about). Toe on the line being viewed from the L is a bit of a reach, isn't it?

Not at all. You can be looking at the action at the free throw lane and see out of the corner of your eye the 3-pt shooter's foot on the line.

Like I said, we don't ref with blinders on.

So, we are supposed to be cognizant of where our partner(s) are & where the ball is while refereeing our PCA right?

I see nothing wrong with sneaking-a-peak at the line when we know our partner is out of position.
After all it's about getting it right.

Now had your partner closed down on the shot, there would be no need to look waaaaayyyy up there. JMO
