and you will find, that to get proper angles on the action, you will be moving/floating quite a bit. I tend to pinch in towards the lane line when the ball moves to opposite side of court, I am near the sideline when it swings to my direction, I back up as the ball moves out past the 3 pt arc, and I pinch in towards the 3 point line when the play is inside. When you do pinch down or in, be careful of steals and quick ball reversals, you don't want to be "part of the action." I bet your positioning will be fine, but, cover it briefly with him in pre-game. Then, as the game unfolds, adjust your position accordingly. Can't see where the assignor would have a cow over that!
