3 person crew..I am the trail and with .5 seconds left A1 makes layup. As the T is this my call to signal basket is good? or the C call. BTW, it happened on my side of the court which was table side.

Thanks!

NFHS: Determining if the shot was released in time is the job of the C or T opposite the table. In your case, the C.

Sometimes, for very close shots, the crew will quickly convene to make sure they agree on the decision.

To add on to AremRed's comments: That's something which needs to be discussed during the time out near the end of the game (I'm presuming someone took one since the score was close). If there's no time out someone on the crew should be aware of it and they can either pat their chest during play if they have the last shot or point to the person who does.

At camp this past weekend I heard a very good point: Officially it is just one person who has the last second shot call, but all the officials should have an opinion on the play.

I'm not saying that everyone should be ball watching during the final second, but should have an opinion.

No. As AremRed Said, NFHS mechanics is that C or T OPPOSITE table has this call.

I heard the exact same thing at a camp this year. One official is responsible, but everyone should have an opinion in case he/she asks for help.

I always have an opinion.

This is something that I bring up in every pre-game discussion when I am the R (and I'll usually bring it up even when I'm not)
