If everybody is on the same page, without a doubt the flex (or whatever else it is called) is a superior system. But if you have a bunch of guys who have called only 2 man, some for over 30 years, and now have just a game or two a year 3 man, sometimes less is more. Nothing much worse than being in the lead, crossing over, and neither partner shows any sign of moving. Unless it's being the T, looking over, and the C is closer to the division line than you are.

Every system has problems. In the old system some guys thought the T had nothing to do once the ball crossed into the frontcourt.

True, and if they're not gonna rotate, ever, I'd rather they'd tell me in advance than just not do it.

Please don't joke about this. I had a partner last week who called a travel from L across the court six feet in front of the C at the free throw line extended.

Got it thanks!
A few good replies will be shared with my crew tomorrow night during my pregame. Had a young gun ask me. Sat. pm game if we're gonna " flex" . I simply said " Only iif we have to when ball is strong " See I just returned Hawaii to ref after a 5 yr abscence in Guam and Texas. Its good to be home.

Are you saying it's okay to stay completely still?

No. Just saying you do not have to advocate this and still see people doing just that while they officiate in 3 or 2 Person for that matter.

Do not have to advocate what? I didn't know I was advocating anything. I see the need to move in any system.
What are you saying?

When all three of the officials aren't hesitant when it comes to rotating and moving to get the best looks -- that's when 3-person officiating is like poetry in motion. |

We use 3 man for varsity and I like it. C has to work hard to catch off ball stuff, and it is rare, but sometimes it is there. I believe the screens are better and there are fewer 3 second calls BECAUSE of 3 men crews. BTW, we call it "PULLING" the lead when C initiates the switch.
