I am also not a big proponent of going ball side. I will do it but I do not see a lot of situations where it is necessary. I am so glad I do not have to work it that much that this is not a major issue. I think this is an acquired taste whether you use this mechanic and how much. Usually players are not in the post very long anyway and I do not see how going ball side is going to make a call that much better. When the ball gets kicked out of the post which happens a lot, then you are out of position to make other calls that are more likely to happen. I think you should use the mechanic but it should be rare. It is not something that is taught around here as a “must use” mechanic.

Peace
