Miscellaneous Notes…
Opposite is responsible for last second shot
T and/or C are responsible for bringing in
substitutes…(all of us are ultimately responsible)
When the ball is in your primary…take the drive all
the way to the basket
Lead officals must learn to trust their Center official
on weak side plays
“Active Lead…Strong Center and Trail”
Miscellaneous Notes…
You can’t be a ball watcher and be an effective 3-
person official
Double whistles are good…Who gets the call?
