Did you type the asterisks or let the software do it for you?

You're probably right, BTW, as usual.

I hate when theres a play I could use one more look at but cant

I don't have a problem with the C coming to get a foul there in that situation, precisely because s/he is probably the only one with a look through the play. If I'm the C in that situation, though, I think it has to be pretty obvious for me to come all that way to get it. It has to be that 2-hand push in the back (which you say clearly did not happen). Otherwise, I think I'm probably going to let the 2 guys who are right there live and die with it.

Typical coach response. Coaches think they have the miraculous ability to see through bodies much like Superman. I had a play last weekend where I was center and I was standing about a foot away from the visiting coach. We both had the same view of a big pile up of bodies across the lane and the lead called out of bounds due to the ball going off a visiting player's foot. He says to me, "didn't you see that foul?" I said all I could see was backs of bodies. I then asked him, "Who do you think committed a foul?" He says, "I don't know you're the ref!"

Expanded version: 3 officials are better than 2, but some plays still occur where nobody gets a good look. That's not a good reason to start guessing based on the outcome. :shrug:

We get preached at that the T should never, ever call a rebounding foul in 3 man. Mainly because the angle you have and snipy pca guys.

Wow. Completely the opposite of what's usually taught (T&C should get most of the rebounding fouls; L should rarely have a rebounding foul)

I assumed he typed T when he meant L -- I could be wrong, though.

I sure hope not.

[SNIPERBBB]

I did mean T. Just another reason to not like my district.

OK, problem, the current nfhs mechanics manual the lead has 1/2 of the lane and the area inside the 3 point arc below the free throw line extended. The center has the other half of the lane all the way out to his sideline. With the Trail having none of the lane or the area adjacent to the lane why is it taught that C & T would have most of the rebounding fouls?
