Yes. If you recall our discussion of a few weeks ago, Chuck and I are proponents of the 'volleyball line' mechanic. The trail should not be on the sideline when coming up-court, but should be about 1/3 of the way onto the court (where the volleyball lines are often painted), and moves in and out as dictated by play coverage.

If A2 and B1 suddenly sprint forward still near C's sideline, so that they are more toward the center of the pack, C should pick them up?


While I think this is a HTBT situation, I would tend to still give first crack on any call to the trail.

How does T shift off ball, and where does T pick up?
I would move further up-court, and try to get a wider angle to see the pack if C picked up the dribbler and his/her defender. This is a great example of where non-verbal communication between you and your partner works wonders.
