Play #5 Coverage play - send your responses to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  
This play does not occur in a dual coverage area. As the player drives below the free throw line the play finishes in the lead's primary. The lead should be refereeing the secondary defender in his/her primary and can best see if there is any lateral movement. The trail official should not have a primary whistle on this play. If the lead does not blow the trail should blow a secondary cadence whistle.The center official should not blow unless the lead or trail do not blow. We should not have a triple whistle on an obvious play out of primary.
 
If the trail does blow he/she should not signal but simply post a fist for the foul and yield to the lead official. Fortunately both officials had the same judgement on the play. If the trail had a blocking foul we would have to report both fouls (double foul) and go to the point of interruption. The ball would go back to the offensive team because the player was in control of the ball when the fouls occurred.
Play #4 Coverage play - send your responses to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  
This play is called a "curl play" because the offensive turns toward the center official and away from the lead and trail.  The center officials does an excellent job of refereeing the point of contact (the defender's left hand hits the shooter's left arm). If the center official does not get this play the crew loses credibility and believability from the coach.
 
Great job center official!!
Arborne shooter or not? - You make the call #1 - send your responses to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 
 
How would you handle this play? Is the shooter airborne?
 
This is a good example of the trail official working his primary. He officiated the shooter from the floor up and back down to the floor. Well done.
 
When the defender crashes into the shooter was the shooter airborne? Should he have free throws or spot throw-in (if not in bonus)?
