Primary Coverage Areas (PCA) Protect your primary area. Get every call correct in your area. Leave your ego at the door - and GET THE OBVIOUS! –Help in secondary areas only when necessary. TRUST YOUR PARTNER.

Double Whistle Yield to primary. –LANE – Lead probably needs to step up.

Drive to the Basket When a player with the ball starts a drive to the basket from an official’s PCA, that official has primary coverage of the player and the ball all the way to the basket – even if the ball moves into another official’s PCA.

Rotations Ball location dictates rotations. Lead starts rotation based on ball location. KEY: –“Give me a reason NOT to go.” Center works high with ball on C side. –Better vision of lead ~ smoother rotation. C can force a rotation with high front court trap coverage. Lead must recognize.

TRANSITION & PRESS COVERAGE

WARNING - This is an unapproved, yet realistic, drawing.

SUBSTITUTIONS Off official closest to table will beckon Subs. Off official opposite table could be the closest official to the table. EXAMPLE Throw-In official is trail at division line, table-side Lead official is on the end line, table-side Center official is opposite table and should step towards table and beckon substitutes (not Lead)

SWITCHES

FAST BREAK OR TRANSITIONS

Transitions New lead look over your shoulder. –Do not look at ball. –Watch your 1/3 of the court Pass and Crash –Ball goes to L or C primary, other official calls the crash. Center –Come in and help on intentional fouls. –Come across to pick up block/charge.

GET IT RIGHT

Special NFHS Conditions We do not make the “long switch” when a foul occurs. Calling official always goes table side in the front court. C or “Opposite” Table has last shot. High school mechanics only… –Signal at the spot –Foul reporting box. Black shoes.

Non- Signals

Summary Know and work your primary. Help in secondary only when needed. Get the obvious - regardless of PCA. Table side on fouls. Last shot –pregame and remind. PCA is smaller – better performance is expected. Relax and officiate.
