No way I'm making this call from T. At best, I've made it to the division line and will have a half dozen players between me and the call.
At worst (and more likely), I've made it to the division line and there are half a dozen players behind me (not good as the T).
Somewhere in the middle (and most likely), I'm hanging back watching the rest of the players and have barely made it to the FT line extended.

Plus add into the equation that if the Lead somehow misses the play there is also a Center official who can have a crack at it.

LOL, I see no shame in getting to the division line when there's a quick steal and the player gets fouled in transition at the FT line.

Matter of fact, I'm guessing in reality we would all be back a few steps further. With 2 officials up there, I'm able to stay back a step or two and watch the stragglers in the backcourt.

Yeah. That's the ticket. I'm WATCHING stragglers. I'm not one myself.

You know you are getting old when, in a two-man game, MTD, Jr, from the old L makes it to the other free throw line extended, at the new T, at the same time you are passing that same free throw line extended as the old T becoming the new L. And he is still keeping all ten players between himself and me. LOL
