You'll also see new trails comeing down the court in a 2 man trail type line. Thier mechanics manual emphasises postion and getting the best angle. An NBA evaluator told me. "to get the play right you have to see the whole play at the correct angle." Watching the NBA officials wont do much for your mechanics but it'll do a whole lot to work on your court presence and presentation.
I wasn't watching to try to learn anything about mechanics. I just happened to notice.


Anyone have any comments about the yelling into the pigpile thing?
