One thing I would like to add. In a 2-person game the trail has to be aggressive. The trail cannot, I repeat cannot, hang out around the division line and watch the action. These plays are tough for the lead. That is one reason there is a C in 3-person. As a matter of fact, I've heard it many times that for a crew to have a good game the C must be active and have a good game. Something like 65% of the calls should come from C. Well the same could be said for the T in a 2-person game. The first step in seeing plays like this is to be in position. The arc is a good starting point. I like to go deeper. If I get beat back down court I slow up around the free-throw line and work for a good angle.
I like to talk basketball because it gets the brain to thinking. As I typed I came up with the bottom line. Our starting position is just that, a starting position. Within reason, we have to get in the best position to get and angle and referee plays. Angles, angles, angles!
