Jump Ball 3 whistles?

[tref]

I'd like to think it would be okay for all 3 officials to be cognizant of whats going on in the f/c paint.
Perhaps 3 whistles weren't needed but as long as all 3 didnt close down on it, WTH. From my experience, girls games typically have more held balls than boys games. That could've been a focal point of their pregame discussion.

What did I say that was out of line now? And why are you so obsessed?

Didn't say you were out of line, but after all the defending of your position that it's completely fine for an official to be focusing on the ball when it's not in his primary, I'm just wondering if anyone's surprised at your reply that 3 whistles was OK on this play.

Obsessed? Hardly ... with what?!?!

Dude, I never said FOCUSING on a ball out of your PCA was ok.
If nobody is in your PCA do you referee the paint & lines?
Or is it okay to go referee some players?

Should we have tunnel vision on our PCA?
Or is it okay use our FOV?

You act as if multi-tasking is not a skillset officials should have!

With what I dont know, but I wasnt the ONLY person who said that...

It seems as though every step I take, every post I make, you'll be watching me.

OK, ok... it was an attempt to bring in a little levity based on the previously heated conversation. I see now that it was too personal to you, and I apologize - I can see how this looked like an attack from your side. Sorry about that.

In a Girl's High School game, so much of the offense is geared around getting the ball into the paint, and Coaches/players get so upset when something is missed in the paint, that I always pregame with my P's that the key is everyone's PCA tonight. If you see something in the key, call it. So like I said before - 3 whistles on this play is not that big of a deal.

For once I agree with your statement Some plays have a congestion of players in one area. Jump balls are usually congested mess and can have all the players in one spot with players not in the scrum standing around waiting for the outcome. At the free throw line, in the end of everyone's coverage area a triple whistle is fine.... As long as one doesn't come up held ball, one comes up with a travel, and another comes up with a foul.
