LA Salle vs Vanderbilt Official Elbowed In Head off Jump (Video)

[BayStateRef]

Interesting to watch the crew have to use 2-person mechanics. They are rotating a lot from the lead...with the trail remaining ball-side. A lot of movement from the trail and not nearly as deep into the frontcourt as usual.

I wish more people would see this. Going ballside is the right way to work 2-person and very few that I see actually do it.

I had the chance to use this mechanic in the Fall when all the players from both teams were on the trail's side of the court and my PCA was nearly empty. I felt like I was more of a help to my partner in that position. Now, I look to do it, if/when I can.

No. The bruises tell quite a story, though.

Oftentimes a well-placed punch/kick/elbow/etc is more damaging than a hard one.

Here, in my little corner of Connecticut, as the lead, we are encouraged to go ball side when there is a ball side active post, and the ball is settled on the wing.

Don't be surprised if we see the implementation of a concussion protocol for officials. First question:What was the number of the truck that hit you?.

Glad Rick Crawford is OK.

How do you think that I became an esteemed member? It wasn't because of my good looks.

Joe DeRossa and Jose Carrion were the other two officials on the crew.

Huh, if DeRosa was on the crew I wonder why he wasn't the R.

He might have been the Referee. He did not have to be the one that tossed the ball.
