Whenever we pregame we discuss a double whistle, and in the case of a block/PC situation we will defer to the L , since the play is usually going towards him. We are not a regular crew, tournament time mixes officials up. The T (and R) has a lot more 3 man work than me. Input?

You had two players in your lap on the far side from Trail. Your call.

Discussing double-whistles, in my opinion, is less important than discussing partner recognition. Once you recognize your partner, you can defer to partner or you can talk to partner.

Every trip after made hoop there was probably 6 players (3&3) in the backcourt. Traps in corner away from T on baseline happened a lot. When I was C I would linger a bit to help T. Sounds like you were there, Mick

We've been on the same page before.
You were fighting an *ego* the just had to call sumpthin', and he kicked it right in front of you.
(He was probably hoping that nobody saw his signal.)

Let the players bring you up court. Don't officiate a "position," officiate where the players are.

That's fine. I sounds as if the call was rightly yours.

A comment on officiating in the backcourt:
I can't stand it when I'm Trail and the C sticks around in the backcourt to "help" me in a 2 on 2 situation. I don't need or want that help, and he is leaving our Lead with SIX players to watch. That's too many for one official. We should strive to divide the players 4, 3, 3. Too many people are preoccupied with where the ball is. They need to learn to watch their area first and adapt to where the players are second.

Sounds like a perfect talking point for the pre-game.

Agreed.
