Very important point by Mick.
I think the biggest thing not yet mentioned is to actually
trail the play when you're at new trail coming upcourt. You have a C official to help out with some of the contact, so you don't have to be even with the dribbler and defenders. Something that can help (at least to learn) is to stay on the baseline until the dribbler reaches the FT line extended - this will help you stay back and it keeps you in perfect position for a quick turnover and drive to the basket.
Hanging back also means that the C/L can sort out who's who, and the new T can then (if need be) quietly swing over to the other side of the court, to avoid the "Power I" formation.

In quick transition, I generally check New Trail, then check across. If you work with Women's officials, you should check more often.

Funny, because I know more men than women who are women's officials.
Or were you, perhaps, meaning to refer to female (women) officials?
