Another consideration is that we officiate the players, not the ball. If I'm lead and have 8 players on my side of the lane, it's silly to rotate the moment the ball goes across. C can handle 2 guys and the ball.

Well said. I have heard your last sentence before also. It is a great tool to remember that we officiate the players and not the ball. I guess my situation doesn't happen much if you are rotating because of matchups and not simply the ball
