Josh, I love your videos and commentary. One comment on the 2 vs 3 point play. The lead had no one in his primary. We talk about extending our coverage when that happens. We also always say “let’s get the play right”. That play I believe the lead officiated where the trail couldn’t and didn’t give up any matchups in his primary. You are correct you need to know your partner but I thought the lead did a great job of extending his coverage and picking up where his partner couldn’t see. Keep up the great videos and learnings.
Josh, on the discussion at 35:10, one thing on the T moving out “quicker than he should so he doesn’t get beat” conversation - what about the fact that 3 players (2 v 1) appear to have left the front court as well? Does the T need to keep an eye on them by somewhat going back with them as well while still keeping an eye on the new action in the front court because of the steal until he gets back into position?
Greta point. Two person is so tough in this regard because you have to make that determination based on the context of your game. If you’ve had a relatively clean game, a glance is all that is needed. Of a harder game or lots of fast breaks possibly, maybe cheating over is appropriate.
In the last video (bonus), in a situation like this in a violation (traveling), holding the whistle a bit, analyzing how the play develops and making a decision to make the call or not is (in my opinion the best), with or without the whistle, white team gets control of the ball, but by calling a traveling we cut the game and deny the possibility of a fast break and easy score.
If it's an obvious foul, we have to call it. I dont think it's fair to the players to wait to see who recovers the loose ball. You may have the same call on the other end that has to be made.. also, coaches want those fouls to go towards bonus. But i understand letting the minor, discretional calls play on, like the girl's "and 1". I appreciate your videos, i wish i could join in on one. Thanks for taking the time to make these!
You are incorrect when you say that is the leads line/call in the first play (3:26). By the book, in a two person crew game, opposite sideline from the free throw line to the division line is the trails line responsibility. I believe this was changed in 2019 when I started officiating and I thought it was very illogical. I always discussed how ridiculous it is with other officials due to it being next to impossible to accurately see the line from across the court. I’ve yet to come across anyone that is even aware of who’s line it is by the book.
Good stuff! Thanks, Josh!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Josh. Greatly appreciated. Couldn’t make it.
You’re welcome

Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Play 2: block/charge... one could argue the defender was moving toward the BHD. I'm going with a block here.
thanks for the assessment.

Maybe. Philosophies of officiating are wide and vast and constantly changing.

Not according to the 23-25 officials manual, page 40.
@ It’s clear as day in the 24/25 IAABO handbook. Page 24 under lines/starting position.
@ not the first time we’ve heard about Iaabo variations. What are they doing?
@@OfficialsInstitute Is it known that there are variations of rules/interpretations? I assumed everyone received the same information.
