Two plays, two great calls, one official (video)

[Nevadaref]

Due to the thread title, I expected to see two difficult decisions in the video.
However, the first one is really nothing more than an out of bounds call--just a matter of looking for where the player's foot is--and the second is a routine unsporting T.

I would expect most competent HS officials to be able to get these plays correct, although there is some adapting that must be done to work with the RA.

Actually, it's not quite as simple as just looking where the foot is in NCAAW. The official also needs to know where the player started her move to the basket, whether it was inside or outside the LDB. Not necessarily easy if that play originates outside one's PCA. Excellent call.

Do you officiate games in which the RA and the LDB are used??

Yes and no. Took this year off from college games, so worked with the RA for a few years, but never the LDB.
