BITS & Mark, you guys are doing it right IMO. Most ncaa evaluators want to see the L move in towards the paint, not stay wide when the ball comes in. And there are times when the L gets absolutely the best view by taking a step into the "quicksand".

Dan, are you in a position to know what most NCAA evaluators want?
|
MOST across the US? Nope.
SOME? Yes.
MOST in my area? Yes.
I have no idea what goes on in the west coast.

This is the 1st I've heard to close down when the shot goes up. HS camps aways said back out. In Women's its spelled out, so no confusion there. But, I didn't know the Men's side would want you to close down.
Would the play dictate what to do? I can't see how. I can understand moving in to see the play until the shot goes up, but once the shot is in the air, its about getting 3 different angles. I guess the old saying, "when in Rome" applies to you area.

I just went back & read your comments and I see you are saying stay or go wide on *shots*. I was referring to plays when the ball comes in to the paint, not on the shot. In general the assignors/evaluators I deal with (ncaam mechanics) want the L to not stay too wide when in position A (shot or not), they for sure want the L to move to B as the ball moves to the paint, and most don't mind if you take a step more to observe contact in the paint when the ball is there. I think BITS & Mark were commenting on this scenario, not on what they do when the shot goes up.
Which is why IMO they are doing it right.
