Restricted Area, Lower Defensive Box & Help Coverage a. The primary official must first referee the legal guarding position of the secondary/help defender, then pick up the line. b. Dribble drive play goes down the lane: Lead needs to be no nearer than the close down position to referee the legality of the secondary/help defender. Trail and Center must position adjust to provide help when needed as to the location of the player with the ball when she started her move to the basket as well as the legality of the secondary/help defender. c. Dribble drive to the basket originates from Center: Lead has primary coverage of the secondary defender. Center has secondary coverage of the secondary/help defender. Trail must position adjust one to two steps onto the floor and stay connected to the secondary/help defender, as often the Trail will have the only open look to judge the legality f the secondary/help defender. The Trail will provide help when needed as to the location of the player with the ball when she started her move to the basket (LDB), as well as the legality of the secondary/help defender. d. Dribble drive originates on strongside: Center and Trail must position adjust to provide help when needed as to the location of the player with the ball when she started her move to the basket, as well as the legality of the secondary/help defender. e.
