Rotations

• Leads need to mirror the ball and close down

when necessary! Avoid in the middle of the

lane positioning.

• Rotate only from the closed down position

• Do not rotate when a try is imminent, during

a cross court pass or on a drive to the

basket.

• If one of these plays occurs, the Lead official

should stop and retreat to his original closed

down position. page 31

on shots taken in the corners. Make

Trail

• Get down to the 28 ft. mark when

plays dictate that position. Trails are

too high on drives to the basket that go

down the (L) lane lines.

• Come down to assist on those plays as

well as block/charge plays and jump

shots that occur at FT line extended

and in the dual coverage with the (L).

(L) Spot throw-ins

• New throw-in mechanic for (L) on spot throw-ins in

the front court. Use the mid point of the from the

lane to the end of the three point arc as the "new

point of demarcation".

• If the ball is outside the "new" midpoint, then the

(L) stands on the inside taking a step or two back to

administer the throw-in. If the ball is inside the

"new" midpoint, the (L) stands on the outside to

administer the throw-in.
