I agree with everything socalreff mentioned, but I want to expand a little on the coverage area in frontcourt. The L's primary is the entire area from the middle of the lane, up to the FT line, and FT line extended all the way to the sideline. It is also the L's responsibilty to signal the 3-pt attempt in this area, while the T signals the good basket and C mirrors. A quirk in the system, in my opinion, is any out-of-bounds calls on the sideline in this area are still the T's call, because the it is still the T's sideline. So the T needs to be aware of the ball, while watching their primary. Also, if the L has an on-ball matchup outside the paint, the T watches the off-ball matchup on the block and in the paint.

This exanded area was hard for me to get used to at first, but after a few games at camp, it became easier. I guess that's what camps are for!
