Well, those of us with presence can sense where the ball is...it speaks to us...tells us jokes...it buys us beer after the game...washes our cars on the weekend...it flirts with our wives and tells lies to our bosses, but that is another matter...we have achieved oneness with the basketball.

Ya know, I've been questioning that whole Druid thing lately. I dunno...there's gotta be more to life than dancing around a bunch of rocks a couple of times a year.

Be the ball.

It's hard when you're talking like that.

Stupid is as stupid does. I think we can all agree that there are different ways to "see" the ball. There is the obvious, staring at the ball. There is the "oops the ball just got turned over and I am L and need to bust down to trail because everyone is running that way", and there is the nefarious periphrial vision (Even though it is spelled wrong.) If I am watching my area, out of the "corner of my eye" i can see the movement, most of the time, out of my area. (Much like the defensive principle of watching a spot where you can see your man and the ball) It is this movement that will tell me when/where I need to go. I am not sure that my vision is good enough to over rule, or make a ruling on a call that I am looking at out of the corner of my eye.
I would never argue that the T missed the call, and that it was a travel. MY only question is how would others have handled it or been evaluated on it?

In this case, the C was concentrating on his own area...the T's area happened to be (an usually is, at least in part) directly beyond the C's area and is often in the same line of sight as the C should be looking.

As far as evaluations go. I, this last season, let a backcourt all go as lead that I was criticized for since I knew it was a violation but deferred to my partner (the trail). Everyone in the gym but hime knew it was a violation. The evaluator asket me afterwards if I knew it should have been a violation and I said yes....he said I should have called it.

Camron,
My very first Varsity Girls' game, I made a back court call from baseline lead which got reversed by my 30-year veteran partner who still doesn't know the rule.
I don't think I am able to go there again.
Big impression....
Coach was r-e-a-l-l-y angry!
