History of three man

[Jurassic Referee]

Back in the early days of three man, the C was always opposite the table. We have an evaluator who doesn't seem to realize that has changed. (he always uses the vernacular, "When you're C and opposite", even if you're C and Table side). I believe that in the beginning the L went wherever he felt he needed to go.

That's my remembrance of the mechanics then.Lead roamed the baseline,but came back table side on all plays when he transitioned to Trail.All end line throw ins were administered towards the C.The official who called a foul always went to Center,and Trail and Lead switched.Center took all throw ins in on his line,even in backcourt.
