T to C Exchange Indication
How do you effect that on/off-ball exchange toward the middle above the key between C and T and vice versa? What, if anything do you do to signal you've gone on-ball, or what do you look for to verify your partner went from off-ball to on-ball?
What is your preference, your pregame point on this?

...even if they're not quite closely guarded just to signal that you've got it.

If I'm leading the pre-game, I'm going to tell you that if the ball swings from T's primary to C's primary and it's obviously in C's area (like deep, i.e. not in a gray area), that unless I'm finishing a count, I'm going to look inside and trust that you've got it. My focus at that point becomes the penetration of the ball and keeping an eye on whether or not L has closed down and/or started to rotate. BUT....if I'm giving it up and it is kind of in the gray area, I'm going to peek at you (in C) to see where you're looking. Same goes for the reverse situation with a small twist. If I'm on-ball in C and giving it up to T, if it's obvious and I don't have a count, I'm trusting that you have it and I'm finding the closest matchup to officiate. I'm also checking to see if L came over, but if he did, unless the offense didn't completely reset, I'm in no hurry to back out. Might as well stay and officiate; there might be curl play I can check out, or I'll have a great open look at a drive from the weak side. Did I mention this absolutely must be pre-gamed? |

Not really....
There should be standard procedures and techniques. You and I should be able to walk on the floor having never met and work a game. I don't care what people say in pregame, most of it goes in one ear and out the other. Once people get in the game, they largely do what they normally do. Some bizarre pre-gamed exception is more likely going to get the crew in trouble rather than get them on the same page. If we were to pre-game all of this kind of stuff that an an official should just do, the pregame would be 3 hours long.

At the NCAA level? Pretty much. If you're working college basketball you've been to a camp. If you've been to a camp you've heard these things time and time again. If it hasn't sunk in by then, that's on you.

It is this attitude exhibited in this thread about "they should already know..." that causes young officials to be hesitant about involving themselves in pre-game talks. Why folks think they are above talking about certain subjects in pre-game has always bewildered me. I'll a take a conversation over the T/C exchange any day of the normal, tired ole clichéd pre-games. I would be excited about a young HS partner who asks such a question in the locker room.

I may not pre-game this part, but you do need to have a pre-game if for no other reason to find out the fundamental differences you have with a partner that you have never worked with or does not have your similar background. A lot of this never needs to be talked about, but it might help to discuss when you are and when you are not on-ball.
Peace
