[Back In The Saddle]

This is a great philosophy that Ronnie introduced. I don't think it means never be square to the sideline, but as the play moves to the basket, instead of simply sliding down the sideline, take a step onto the court and get a "Trail's look" at the play. I will agree that this should be adopted in HS and NCAA more than it is now.

This is the first time I've heard this phrase "slot with a trail mentality." Does it mean only what you've said here (i.e., step onto the court on the shot)? Or is there more to this philosophy that you would't mind expounding on?
