Negative. We are supposed to referee our 3rd of the court while seeing as many of the other players as possible, as we are listening to the coaches for timeouts, checking the clock after each whistle & taking a peak at the table for subs.

When a play/shot goes toward the basket, there isn't anything wrong with 3 offcials knowing where the ball is. Players, partner & ball, right?
Its tough to flex or back out of one without knowing where the ball is.

As we start talking about the higher levels, its even encouraged to sneak-a-peak on 3 point trys out of your area. Yes, to help our partners!

Hopefully by John Adams adopting some NBA principles it will trickle down to HS in another decade. Because HS is behind the times... I am just now starting to hear RSBQ & SDF at this level. When I got up on it 4 or 5 years ago, they were saying thats NBA talk
