Trust your partners

When working 3 man you have to trust your partners are watching their areas. All the areas overlap so the only other thing is to use your periphial vision to see if the lead switches over to your side of the court. Try to work 3 man in the summer or during pre-season scrimmages. It really is easy once you do it a few times.
