I would like to hear anyone's opinion who will offer.
My two cents (or less): I was a clinician at two HS camps the last two weeks. Personally, I don't care if the C goes high or low, or ever takes a couple steps onto the court to get a better view. What I saw that was a big problem is that instead of staying mainly parallel to the sideline, the C is turning their shoulders so much to the play that they are only able to watch a single matchup. They are no longer able to ref "one play ahead" and they are losing sight of their entire primary except for the ball matchup.
