Chuck's words about the Trail are pretty good. Running up the court on the volleyball line will feel uncomfortable and cause the Trail to be deeper but it will also open some plays in the corner and down the paint up considerably. Of course given the situation the Trail must move for the best angle.
Calling across the paint isn't the ultimate sin to me because there will be plays when it is needed. Sometimes the C physically cannot see the foul or a secondary defender could have came from my area. On routine plays it is a no-no.
I think the ultimate sin is anything that goes against the crew concept. An example would be if I gave a T to a coach for unsporting behavior and while we are administering the free-throws one of my partners is right next to the coach having a discussion. I know some will disagree but there just isn't a good reason for this to me. Whatever communication I need to do with a coach could be accomplished with space between us. After that I can turn to observe the players. It is almost like "he gave you a T so now I will listen to your sob story." That is just one example. Although it isn't an absolute it is real close.
