Lead Positioning...and others

[Indianaref]

• On fast break situations, the Lead must be ready to help on "3" point shots

• When the ball is above the free throw line extended, the Lead should have responsibility for "3" second violations.

• On a press, the Lead official should have a "free safety mentality"

• In the Lead position, get into a "back" stance in order to be patient

• Sprint from Trail to Lead, don't have a "home run" trot

• Pick up game and shot clocks from Trail to Lead

• The Lead has "strong side rebounding"

• When working the Lead, pick up secondary defenders on drives to the basket

• Lead don't rule across the lane when a primary match-up is involved with the Center

• When rotating as a Lead, don't rotate blindly

• In the Lead position, if you cannot see between the offense and defensive player you are out of position
