You're saying the Trail should have morphed up court to see the play?

Do you think a Center official who ran up ahead of the pack will now be able to look back through the pack to see the crash?

if everyone in the rotation is on top of things the three man transition mechanics cover the court well enough if you use your brain and get good angles while your getting down the court a "crash" will be officiated.................................im not directing this at badnews just everyone MYSELF included

Correct...the discussion in this thread is where should the C should be located in relation to the players. Tref has heard three different philosophies from different sources (all relating to the level of which the different sources work at) and is wondering our opinions as to which one is best in our opinion.

Right. Or A2 catches the ball right near the division line and (perhaps) steps over it or passes the ball to someone who is coming from BC, or in the air coming from FC .... That call is the centers.

Maybe another way to put it. C needs to be in a position to work 2-man with L on a long pass and breakout, and work 2-man with T on any sort of press or pressure during the transition. And, be able to go from one to the other in short order.

Okay, okay you changed the scenario on me, now its block/charge on an outlet pass.
I did lead off with no absolutes or always...

Of course we have to have a feel for what may happen "next" & be in position to make the call. Reading a step ahead is what I try to accomplish.

In the new sitch, when A1 gets possession I'm side stepping a couple times in the slot as I read the play. I'm NEVER said A gets the rebound & I'm gone like a L. I see the pressure by B1 then I'm looking to the bench for a t/o & I'm most definitely gonna notice A2 curling back to the division line for an outlet pass. 8 players headed north & 2 players in reverse is a red-flag for me.
