Right. They probably would initiate the rotation even before the ball hit the frontcourt, right? But we don't like to do that in HS/NCAAM.

At any rate, what is your suggestion, because the L making this play over and over again is not the answer?

My only suggestion would be for the Trail to be more aware of the situation. If the C is even with the play, I would like to see the T move even further toward the middle of the court while coming from backcourt to frontcourt. Almost like we would do in a 2-whistle game.
When the ball is trapped in the corner of the frontcourt, I'd like the Trail to still be in the backcourt, near the jump circle, trying to get a look through the nearer defender. The C can handle the defender that is closer to the sideline.
We always say in pre-game that we want our C to be very active tonight. But this is a case where the
Trail has to be active and get a look through the play. You can't let the C have the whole play, b/c it's obvious that s/he can't handle the whole play from the sideline.
This is a great thread, BTW. Good situation and good thoughts on it.
