It's an NBA-ish philosophy (which all college officials will get to know and love if Joe DeRosa takes over for John Adams). Watch what Joe does, particularly once he becomes the C.
The philosophy starts with ball lines. Stay outside the ball lines; always be on the outside looking in. As for L rotations, don't go simply based on quantity of players. Go because there's either something to officiate or (if you have a good feel for the game) because you anticipate there will be something to officiate. The keys to rotation are a competitive matchup in the post and/or a player on the opposite wing with a teammate either in the corner or moving to the corner. The latter key assumes the offense is setting up for a tray or a baseline drive, and you want to be there to either officiate strong-side rebounding or the drive to the basket. If the keys aren't there, don't rotate. The action is sparse and open enough for the C to handle. The C should A) one-step open low or open high to get a good look between players, with the priority on opening low if at all possible, and B) not be in a hurry to go back to T if the L rotates to C's side. Stay and officiate! Two C's is not at all bad. The ball is moving to the basket in our game; never move away from where the ball is destined to go unless absolutely necessary. Get angles with subtle movements rather than big ones; it's easier to see plays when you're standing still rather than moving around. Besides, player motion is so erratic and constant in the modern game that the moment you try to get an angle it will probably disappear. So you might as well let the players create the angles for you. They always do. The T can start in the traditional position, but as the lateral ball line moves in, move in with it. Should you need to transition to C, you'll be that much closer. And once you've moved in, even if you don't rotate to C, stay in, because the ball is probably still headed for the basket (the object is to score, after all). Only if the offense completely resets should the T back out and start over. So there ya' go. |

I will say, as far as NBA-ish philosophies go...the keys for initiating as the lead aren't the same. The NBA philosophy is a lot more aggressive. I prefer the NBA's stance on rotations as the lead...but overall, the mechanics thought at the D3 camps are sound, and a great camp for those at all levels. I went to the camp the past two years (as BNR can attest to), and have gotten a lot from the camp. Plus the food doesn't hurt.

I've had numerous discussions with fellow HS officials that say I rotate too much and it's interesting that I already have some of this philosophy. I always tell newer officials to not rely on a ball settling low to move - if you do that, you'll always be late rotating or plays will happen where you wish you were on the other side.

There are two ball lines at any given time. The first ball line passes through the ball and is parallel to the end line (this is what CC5 is referring to as the lateral ball line). The second passes through the ball and is parallel to the sideline. The goal is always to stay outside of the ball lines, but as CC5 points out, when the lateral ball line moves towards the baseline, so should the T. In the C, "open high" means to step away from the baseline and referee that play from the top side. "Open low" means to step down towards the baseline, and referee that play from the bottom side. Brief fanboy mode: I agree with others here that I wasn't totally on board with this the first time I learned it. But I'll be damned if I didn't get more plays right when I started applying their court coverage and rotation philosophies. |

And all things being equal, "open low" being his preferred option.
