From the C ...

They say all three points - both feet and ball - in this case the ball was never dribbled in FC.

To all of those who work 3-man: are you ok with the C calling a B/C violation?

IN high school at least, all three points is only in reference to a player dribbling the ball.

Someone just standing there has FC status as soon as his back foot leaves the back court.

Three points is true when the ball is being dribbled but location here is based on the players feet. One foot in BC ball has BC status, when the foot in BC gets lifted, only one foot down in FC ball also has FC status now.

The T is way behind the play and as trouble seeing it. First, is this a violation and second is it o.k. for C to call this?

Is the C located somewhere near the division line or at the division line with a 100% high certainty look? The F/C foot isnt still touching the division line?

Rules reference please...

I think it's good teamwork & for the good of the game to pick-up something that matters if a partner missed it. That's what partners are for.

Can someone define 100% high certainty to me?

Contradiction in terms imo.

My motto: "Call whatever you want in my area. Just make sure you are correct."

Everything else is noise and ego. If you are 100%, make the call on that. That's being a good crewmate.

I disagree, but we've had this discussion dozens of times.

1. You might want to rethink that statement... you're not correct here.
2. Of course the C should call it.. often, in a press situation the C is right on the division line when this happens.

Re-think which statement?

It was a B/C violation. I worded it wrong from the get-go. The problem was the T could not completely see the play and the C was right on it. However, the C told the T it was his line.

He's just saying to rethink your "all three points" statement since it is in no way germane to this situation because the player wasn't dribbling.

If you knew it was a B/C violation, why did you include that statement?

Written poorly ... meant to to suggest that T had a tough look at a play and was not sure if it was B/C violation. THANKS!

All the 3-man that I've worked, this is the C's call. The C should be near mid-court at this point since there is ball pressure. Unless the ball is within 5 (or so) feet of the division line, this should be C's call. If the ball handler is within 5 (or so) feet of the division line, I guess the T could call it as well. my (Corrected) $0.02
