Just an educated opinion.

You are doing 2 person, not three person. It is silly to me to act like the lead never sees the ball go in the basket. For one you have to cover a lot of area as opposed to 3 person. And if the lead can see the ball go in at 3 person, so can a 2 person lead. And players often tell you when the ball goes in. If they stop going for a rebound, chances are the ball went in. You also can see it out of your peripheral vision which will mean you can concentrate on the rebounding action at the basket. You cannot even in 3 person be so laser-focused that you are not aware of anything else around. You have to kind of be aware of other things and have an opinion about those things. That is different than ball watching the ball at the top of the key, but you can know the ball is at the top of the key.

Peace
