Question on this ... You are supposed to stay with a matchup if you have started a closely guarded count. I always assumed that this include marking a shot attempt as your partner may be looking elsewhere. But maybe that is a bad assumption. If you continue a count out of your primary, would any of you mark a 3 pt attempt or do you assume that the matchup (and marking of a 3 pt attempt) gets passed off as soon as the dribble ends?

I'd (try to) know where my partner was looking and use that to determine it. And, if we both start to mark it, then I'd drop if it was clearly in my P's area.

"...Go do something else." Absolute Quality!!! Ha!

I usually pre-game on a double mark by the C and T to let the T take the shooter but the C leaves his arm up and does not stay with the shooter but helps the L with rebounding action. A dropped 3 pt mark can lead to confusion. Was it really a 3 or not? Why did he drop his mark?

Not to beat an expired equine, but if I were the AD hosting this game, I'd say to myself, "Why pay for three officials? I could pay for just two and still have too many eyes on the ball!"

Any assigning pool or association that tolerates ballwatching like this ought not complain if their stakeholders abandon 3-person in favor of 2. It's their own flippin' fault.

And here's the "Closely Guarded/Not"corollary to the topic at hand:

Embarrassing. Ouch.

Are both officials taking that jump-shooter back to the floor?

An arm up tells me that official is responsible for the shooter up and down and I can focus on rebounding action. If they're both going up, who's watching rebounding? The L?

If both go up, the C should drop it and readjust his focus. Pregame this.
I always drop if a partner is marking a three at the same time I am.

Sometimes that's the most practical solution.
