This cuts off your field of vision and it contrary to what I have been taught and what I do in 3-person. It is still a game of angles so many times it is better to back away and get a good angle. This also applies to the last free throw. A better view can be obtained by getting wide and standing on the end line rather than closing down and moving away from the endline.
The NBA guys stay put on a drive.
Since most of the jumpers, leaners and peekers are finished most of the NCAA officials who remain will also stay put or back away on the drive.
As always situations will cause us to adjust. I'm of the mindset that I should go into a game thinking about being mechanically perfect and adjust from that mindset rather than going in thinking otherwise.
