I can see the L's hand go up using peripheral vision. Doesn't pull my eyes away from anything else.

Uh....good for you? I can't figure out if you are boasting or admonishing me for not being able to do that too. Maybe both I guess. I can't use my peripheral vision to see a guys arm from 40 feet away through a swath of players.

Boasting? Really?

It could be cause you're new, too. Eventually, you get a feel for where your partner is and you'll notice that arm going up even when looking at something else.

Same thing with a throw-in administered by the L in the frontcourt when you're the trail. You're supposed to mirror the chop, but you can't stare at the L or the ball to do it.

Why? Isn't this the perfect time to ramp it up, in fact, since nobody anywhere is "supposed to be" doing it?

I'm sure I'm missing something here, but Enquiring minds want to know ...

Simple, there are apparently bigger issues out there, and I'd rather have them mirror too much than not signal the successful 3.

This must be going around

I agree Camron. Early this year I was working with a 2nd year official and this happened. Ball deep in his corner (on bench side) so I moved my eyes to the lane. Shot goes up and in, I glance to him and don't see anything so I head down the court. A couple trips later the coach says he is missing a point on the scoreboard.

So I ask the kid at half why he didn't signal the make (I guess he signaled the try but I didn't see it)...he said the book says he wasn't supposed to. Needless to say I won a coke but I wonder why this assumption is going around.
