And even so I still always know what's going on in my games. And I think maybe you should lose this "99" reference you use frequently. Kind of insulting, demeaning, and arrogant to officials who don't agree with everyone of your philosophies. Based on your posting history I surmise you are being exposed to a lot of pro philosophy (NBA/D-League/semi-pros). But the philosophies and teachings for those leagues don't always translate to college and high school ball. Just MHO.

I know I've asked this before...what's a 99?
For what it's worth, one of the most highly regarded camps in this area is high school oriented I don't know if that necessarily speaks to the quality of the ball here but you are a nobody in the chapter until you've gone to one of these camps.

Didnt mean to imply that, it all depends on who I'm working with & their position on the court. Does a partners eyes follow the flight of the ball on shot attempts? Does a partner position adjust on shot attempts? The answers to those questions tells me how often to sneak a peak or if I even need to referee my 3rd & beyond. Lets keep it real, all of us arent in this for the same thing & some of us aren't as skilled as others. I'm not letting the team crash & burn when I'm with a check collector or a ball watcher or a guy wearing the uniform who shouldn't be.

I don't allow coaches to go off on me like this, either. Do you start watching for travels in your partner's primary just because a defensive coach went off on you for missing one?

This also implies that by you "helping" your weak partner out by making lots of calls in his primary and overruling a few 3-pt shots, it makes you look good. I'm not sure anyone looks good when this happens, and I agree it does happen. There's only so much you can do when your partner is weak, but I would argue it's a very rare game when you can somehow make up for his/her weakness and also make the whole crew look good. Once you have to start reaching, you start missing stuff that's in your primary. It's often a mess.

But these arent MY philosophies, to be honest the guys I learn from dont like philosophies they say to stay away from them & call the game by the book. Are there differences in rules, court coverage & approved signals? Yes but as long as the rim is 10' & the FT line is 15' & there are boundary lines & there are 5 players on each team at each level... Basketball is Basketball man! I see nothing wrong with having the mindset of the best to do it & applying practices at the level one currently works. Quote:

L has illegal contact by offense & defense. T has offensive feet. C is prepared for the curl while watching the hook. Yup all while officiating the players in their primary TOO. Multi-tasking is a great quality for officials to have.

I see the smiley, but I meant the 3-pt shot specifically - coming in and changing it to a 2 if you see a foot on the line.

Some people want you to come in & tell them you had a foot on the line so they can change it, others say if you're 100 change it yourself right then & there to keep the game moving.

I guess I didn't realize this was new; it's certainly being taught to us lowly high school officials; has been for years. And in this situation, I'm talking about you as L peaking across the paint to a player on the 3 pt line to see if he's traveling (the real equivalent to L catching a 3 pt shot on the opposite elbow).

FTR, if I'm peeking across the paint I should be moving my feet over there.

If I have a "weak/shouldn't be there/only for the $$$/warm body/etc" partner I'm only extending to get assault/batteries and only conversing if I think a rule is being misapplied or an "on the floor" should be changed to a shooting foul. Otherwise both coaches are going to have to live with the missed travels, missed handchecks, phantom "over the back" and "reaching" fouls, and confusing mechanics. Then they can call the assignor and submit the appropriate report.
If the assignor is willing to put that official in that game then the assignor can answer all the complaints. Or maybe the assignor is thinking the game is getting the quality of official it deserves.
