11. Shot & Rebound Coverage

12. Three-Point Shot Coverage
If both C and T indicate the 3-pt attempt, T should referee the defense on the shooter and stay with the shot; C should release and cover rebounding
C/T should mirror the other official’s “good” signal
L does not have 3-pt attempt responsibilities in a front court offense, but may need to offer assistance on fast break.

13. SUBSTITUTIONS Table-side official when in front court
Center official when play going long
The official will sound their whistle and beckon subs. Make sure to keep hand up until player is off the court

14. PRESS COVERAGE T – Has ball in backcourt
C – Has Middle pack of players
Do not look back at ball
Has all the way across court
May need to help with backcourt calls
L – Position a few steps behind last player

15. Court Positioning Start at home sport Move to get angles
LEAD – Wide or Closedown
Center – Foul line extended
Trail – 28ft line
Move to get angles
We need to always see in between players
Anticipate players movements and position adjust
Better position = Better Calls

16. Rotations Lead needs to do a better job to rotate
Lead get to closedown immediately unless ball is coming down court wide
When ball is on C side, Lead should already be at closedown and getting ready to rotate.
Should already be over when ball is entered into post

17. Rotations Stop rotation and go back if:
SHOT
PASS
DRIVE
Rotation doesn’t end until you get to opposite lane line
Don’t Run

18. Rotations Type of defenses Type of offence Post players Zone or Man
Perimeter or inside
Post players
Physicality

19. Areas of improvement T and C Coverage Trail too far onto the court
C should referee plays in their area
T needs to come off the ball once C picks up
Trail too far onto the court
Leads calling across paint
If you want to ref that play you should already rotate
Understand where partners are and what they can and cannot see
Communication – Eye contact
Movement

20. Playcalling Strive for 100% but know it won’t happen
Work the system and trust the system
Don’t ball watch
Get in position to see between players
Let play start-develop-finish and then make call
When in position accuracy goes up
Don’t guess
Consistency – Catalog plays
Know situations
