Good question by Larks btw- and a good discussion.

Good stuff guys thanks. In 5 years, this is the first secondary defender b/c that I can really remember. I probably had some others and either was too new to know what I was looking at or B) it wasnt so bang-bang.
Someone mentioned ball watching earlier in the thread and I dont totally agree. The play came around the corner (which is why I was closed down) and down the lane line so really it originated in the gray or maybe even C. I wasnt necessarily ball watching. I feel I was more drawn to the drive right down boradway. I bet if you answered honestly that when a defended drive is coming to the basket down the lane line right at you....how many look off for B2 EVERY TIME? If you answer ALWAYS, you are probably working the next level!
I like the thought of getting wide and probably could have / normally do now that I think of it.
I guess I just didnt or didnt enough because I have no idea how long B2 was there. All i know is he was flat footed and took that freight train better than most.
I could not get deeper from the court, this was one of those gyms that has about 4' of space from end line to wall on each end.
This is definately a split second judgment no matter how you cut it. I agree with the concept that you gotta have something. I agree that if I was wider, I
may have caught B2 sliding or known 100% he was there.
As for T, I think it happened so fast and I whishtled / sold so fast, it would have been tough or VERY late. Good point on him seeing B2 if he is reffing A1/B1. C thought B2 was there but thats all the way across but if he is off ball, he may have really saw it and I am good.
Tape will tell us....
IF I can actually get it. Tape in Ohio is a luxury.
Definately a learning experience.
Here goes.....50x....
Ref the D (But pick up the secondary D if the play originates outside your primary)
