Ed Rush is an outstanding clinician who is another of those folks who is at the forefront of new and innovative officiating theories. The points he makes are prety salient. Some of the unique ones are provided here:
1. "Elephants not Ants". Look for the big stuff, let the little stuff go!
2. We miss plays for 3 reasons:
a. Looking in the wrong place
b. Standing in the wrong place.
c. Not paying attention.
3. Always make quality calls on 4's and 5's. There are not many quality big men; their playing time is at a premium.
4. On plays going away from you as the C or T, make sure they are "High Certainty", and do not make a call if you are straightlined.
5. Most plays are not 5 on 5: a couple players almost always have the play off. Figure out who is playing basketball on each particular play and referee them.
6. Create a climate for the offense to get to the rim. That's what the game is about.
7. The closer defenders are to the basket, the more likely they are ‘protecting the hoop’, meaning they are jumping straight up – Verticality. Outside, typically, defenders are jumping toward the ball / offender… almost always!
