Snaqs, you're exactly right, just another way of wording 4-27-3.
But the principles, if followed correctly, gives us a reference to make the correct call in different situations/areas on the court.
The guidelines are just that, guidelines.
Sometimes guidelines can be quite vague, the principles are more defined.

Sorta like the football official who calls an offensive hold, but the defender is standing right there allowing himself to be held.

Give it another 2-5 seasons & they'll buy in! Especially once we get the RA in HS.

Its hard enough to get people to call a PC foul around here. We don't need to give them another out.

I agree. It is same up here in NW Ohio.

Oh my, you dont like that either? Snaqs it's really a beautiful thing!
Just like RSBQ & SDF, the RA takes the art out of our thought process & makes it more of a science.

I disagree. The criteria for this are pretty clear. While there's an art to officiating, that applies more to game management and when to make certain calls (like letting a few travels go to benefit a team losing by 50). It doesn't apply to B/C calls. That's about knowing how to identify LGP.

I respect your stance, but when a 2ndary defenders foot is in the RA there is no need to know LGP. Thats beautiful, IMHO!

It might make it easier in this instance, but I don't like the idea of taking away this defensive tactic. I know some (you included) think it's not a legitimate tactic, but I think it's a fair strategy to take away the shooter's path to force him to take a different shot than he wants.

Besides, then you have to learn to identify secondary vs primary defenders as well as other aspects of the rule that determine whether it applies.

I'd go to say that most don't feel like it's a legitimate tactic...at least in the eyes of the rules makers. NFHS is the only major level not to have an RA now (NBA, NCAA, and FIBA).

And we kind of already should know the difference between primary and secondary defenders...especially on block/charge plays to the basic and working in 3-man mechanics.

Snaqs:

I agree with you 100%.

There it is.

When you consider the pools of college vs. high school officials -- and their corresponding experience -- I think you're going to find it much tougher for high school officials to identify a secondary defender, especially considering there is no such definition.

I still don't see the point of the RA, anyway. If you obtain LGP after the shooter leaves the floor, by rule, it's a block.
