Take a look at what your primary is. Even in transition someone has off ball coverage and someone has on ball coverage. Most of the time in a quick transition the new lead has off ball coverage. Although the sideline you describe is your line, it is just like the line above FT line extended in the front court in a half court game... Lead often times (depends on associations and officials) has first shot at that. More often than not the new lead is not watvhing off ball and trying to watch the ball coming down the floor. If you are watching off ball in these situcations you'll find yourself refereeing the defense more on the and when there is a block charge you'll get it right more times because you reffed the D and not the guy with the ball.

What foul you going to miss that your partner watching on ball should not get? OOB? your partner helps and you keep going?

In a press the new lead helps out ffor traps but in a fast transition the trail has best view of most plays... lead should be in positon for the play to come to him or past him for the lay-up etc...
Kelvin -- I'm lost. Completely. Could you try this again in more simple language? Pretend you're explaining to a coach....
