If the dribbler is trapped by two defenders, and is right up against the sideline and the division line, the only place you will get a GOOD view, without trying to look through the defenders, is all the way, in fact, out of bounds, on the far side. From middle of the floor, you are screened by one defender. The trail has to bust tail to get over to that line to properly call what is going on. I'ts especially important to get there if the trap is along table side, where the coaches will have a better view than you do.
You do not have to go all the way. You go into the backcourt and work deeper for an angle. We NEVER switch anymore, not since the NFHS decided it was OK to work "reverse". The line belongs to the lead, if necessary.
