Womens DI - Again
 

Another womens DI question.

Is there a difference in coverage area than the 3 man used by NFHS??

Have checked the NCAA website where the rulebook is located but have failed to find any information yet.

Thanks for everyones help!!

Yes it is. And you will not find it in the rulebook, it is in the CCA Mechanics book for Women's basketball.

Peace

Biggest difference in coverage areas is that in a halfcourt set the lead's area is a rectangle from the center of the key clear to the near sideline (like the 2 person lead's area, except only 1/2 of the key).

Because the lead may have both perimeter and post play in his area, this area becomes a secondary coverage area for the T. Specifically, if the L is on-ball in his area away from the post, the T will extend and pick up the L's post. Conversely, if the L is off-ball covering his post, the T will extend into the L's area to pick up the on-ball play. It is therefore essential for the crew to establish in their pre-game how they will communicate when the L is on- or off-ball when the ball is in the L's area. Normally this is done using body language.

Also, the L has the portion of the three point line in his area, and will mark (but not count?) a three point attempt originating from his area.

There are other, more subtle differences. But those are two that stand out.
