To Reach or Not To Reach, that is the question...

OK, your responses are very helpful. I know that there are calls that need to be made regardless of your position- Perhaps my quandry is more that I'm entering my first year of 3 whistle games and all spring and summer I've been told that assignors/supervisors who watch me (and those coming up like me) are primarily looking to see if I stay in my area or if I'm following the ball and calling all over the place.

Once I can show that I can handle the 3 whistle mechanics, calling from the trail will be easier for me. As of now, I try not to call anything in the paint. I have called in the paint, but only after waiting to see if the L or C gets it first, then if I'm positive I saw something the others didn't.

Hell, I'm still working on recognizing what side of the rim the ball goes up on and not giving so many "and one's" as the kids get bigger and stronger.
