Ensuring proper press coverage in a Crew of 2 requires both officials adjusting positions as needed to observe all players and will vary depending on the location of the players and the ball. The Lead and Trail officials will need to keep moving as the play moves to ensure they have an open look at any possible play scenario.
During the throw-in, the Trail official is responsible for observing the thrower and the on ball defender while executing the 5-second count. The new Lead should remain and read to assist the Trail on coverage. The new Lead is primarily responsible for the other eight players on the court.
The Lead’s position will be dictated by position of the players. The Lead will need to position-adjust in order to have an open look at competitive match-ups on both sides of the court while the ball is in the backcourt. The new Lead is responsible for out-of-bounds rulings on the sideline opposite the Trail official and should be ready to cover a long pass into the frontcourt.
After the throw-in is completed, the Trail official is responsible for the 10-second backcourt count and in most cases, is responsible for the primary ball handler/defender matchup. The Trail should remain behind the play to be able to observe any potential screens or defensive traps as the ball advances toward the frontcourt. The Trail may need to move toward the basketline in order to get an open look on matchups when the ball is on Lead’s side of the court. The Lead should continue to focus on play in the backcourt until it becomes clear the Trail has play properly covered. When this occurs, the Lead can begin to move up the court as and focus on the first wave of players enter the frontcourt.
Press coverage should be a part of an effective pregame conference as it will take both officials working together to ensure the court is properly coverage during pressing situations.

College Basketball and COVID-19:
How will Schools and Conferences
Combat the Coronavirus?
|
By Mike Waters/Syracuse.com
Syracuse, N.Y. – The preparations for the 2020-21 college basketball season have been in the works since the coronavirus brought the 2019-20 season to an end on March 12.
Across the nation, coaches, athletic directors and conference commissioners have been developing plans and protocols for how to navigate through a pandemic.
"We have a task force that meets twice a week,'' St. John’s senior deputy athletic director Kathleen Meehan said recently. "We just had our 54th meeting since last April.''

IAABO is proud to recognize Jack Nelson, Board 204, Potomac Valley, Maryland, as an IAABO Good Citizen. On Wednesday, November 11, 2020, Jack was driving to town, in the pouring rain, literally, pouring hard. He lives about 9 miles from town. He saw a women walking in the rain so he pulled over and asked if she wanted a ride. The elderly women mentioned that she was supposed to get a ride from a friend, but the friend did not show up. She asked where Jack where he was going. He said Cumberland. She said thanks, but I am headed to LaVale (a different direction). Jack said that he could go to LaVale. So she got in, and he took her where she was going. Jack then drove back home to Cumberland.
While that might be a good deed, Jack’s son did a far better deed. He works at a game store where they Buy, Sell & Trade games. A family down on their luck came in with a small collection of games to trade for cash to buy food. The games had very little value ( $5) so, he took all the money he had in his wallet and gave it to them. He only had $10 as he doesn't carry much cash, but he did what he could do. Jack knows that if his son would have had $50 in his wallet he would have given it to them. IAABO is proud of Jack and his son.

Officially Human; Behind the Stripes LLC (OH) was founded by Brenda Hilton as a grassroots effort to "humanize" sport officials in all sports at all levels. Brenda has spent close to 20 years working with sport officials and coordinators at the DI level and grown to appreciate them for all they do for our youth and young adults. OH is currently working with 12 high school associations (with more on the horizon) across the country to survey officials at that level, gathering information to take back constituents and participating states in hopes of building a nationwide campaign. To date, 16,000+ officials have shared thoughts and ideas on how to address the issue.
OH currently has sportsmanship banners available for purchase to be displayed at venues; they can be customized with the venue logo.
