Not much according to most of my partners.

Watch for off ball stuff in the lane area, but only half of the lane. And rebound responsibilities.

This is a good thread for me to learn from.

Have to agree with most of the others here...seems like your group is missing the point of having the third official out there and asking way too little of the C.

In terms of your initial comments about Pre-game conferences...any time you are uncomfortable about the Pre-game, just ask some question. Things like:

Hey, had this weird situation last week. How do we want to handle it if....

Or

What do we want to do tonight if there is a lot of trapping in the backcourt?

You can get a lot accomplished in the Pre-game simply by asking questions.

As I have said before, we have 52 officials in the association, I would say about half are over 40, 1/3 over 50. I am 57, but I started refereeing 12 years ago. Most of the older officials have refereed for over 20 years. Most have never gone to camps, I have not. I would say we have about 7 or 8 guys that have gone to camps and they do college also.
You guys cover schools in West Virginia and Maryland? Mike Eades, Ted Valentine, and Al Battista would not be happy to hear this about your 3-man philosophies.
