In two person, we are encouraged to come ball side, especially in the low post. The reasons are: 1. If you stay across the paint, usually all you'll see are the defender's elbows and butt. You are guessing at what is really happening. If you rotate over, you have a better chance of seeing through the play. 2) A call from 4 feet away is easier to sell than a call from 20 feet away (and that assumes the trail has hustled down to pick up this play, and is not calling it from the division line).

This is the approach I have been using. What this official was telling me was new to me. It was the first time I had heard that philosophy.
