I can't see this game having three officials on it. It is 2-man and the Trail is working deep toward the endline.

The first travel is about as blatant as it gets. Fred Flintstone doesn't get that kind of jump when he's driving his car. And THAT'S in the T's primary.

Love the wave off by the T. Not.

You really think so?

In two person, why would the T be below the free throw line extended? That's where he would set up as C in a 3 person crew. I really think it's 3 person...which makes him even more of a doofus for reaching that far across through all those players.

Why would he reach across the lane that far through all of those bodies to get a borderline travel and look like a doofus waving the foul off? You can figure out his skill level/experience from the video, so I don't think it's a stretch to say he might be out of position as the Trail.

Not trying to be a dick, just saying...

Don't think you are being a dick at all.

Just think they are working 3 person really poorly.

Does 'T' (or 'C') official ever raise his hand? What did the defender do wrong?

This looks like a situation where the Trail official (white hair) has assumed the role of veteran to the Lead's "Newbie". The T doesn't raise his hand (or fist) to stop the clock. The T may not have had a call at all...or maybe he did. But it appears that the T does think he knows what his much younger partner is about to call (PC maybe)...and he seems to be signaling him not to report his call. Instead the T reports the Travel. At least that's what it looks like to me.

But the shoes do look like crap.

I can't see anything to call from the camera view...travel? maybe (probably not). Block, not likely either. PC, maybe, but not likely either. OOB, yep.

I agree, this looks bad. That's why, in these parts, we're required to raise an open hand before all violations. If I have a fist up, I want my partner to have a open hand, if he has something different. Then, we can talk about it.

Ultimately, we reached the right destination, but it was a bumpy ride.

Anyone here wear a watch when working basketball games?

I don't, regardless of what season it is. Honestly, and I'm probably judging too harshly, that's all I need to see.

How else would we time eight minutes, ten seconds, three seconds, five seconds, thirty seconds, sixty seconds, etc.

My PERCEPTION of that official is not very positive.

A1 travels when she starts her dribble. After that incidental contact. W21 established LGP then sidestepped to maintain it.

Helluva lot better LGP than the other thread.

Don't know but i had a partner in two person recently that, on at least 4-5 occasions while I was administering an endline throwin in the frontcourt, set up as trail straight out from me. I asked him about it because I was puzzled about why he was doing it, particularly since he didn't go back to the correct side on more than one occasion. He denied being in line with me but admitted he came pretty far over. He said he had a better look at the play from there. OK, fine....but he didn't go back to his side at least 2-3 times and had plays occur on his side with no one there. Again, I have no idea why...made little sense and I think he just forgot where he was and wasn't open to admitting he had no idea where he was.
