If you are getting beat in 3 person or on plays that are not changing possession even or behind you then you have a problem.
It could be fitness.
It could be the plow you are pulling.
Or it could be that you are routinely not doing what the name suggests, TRAILLING the play, or when you move you are not on the balls of your feet so you must re-set them to change direction.

An inexperienced official who can't anticipate the COP well can compensate by being able to run like a gazelle.
An experienced official can get a few extra steps by being aware of the change in possession or by anticipating the COP well. Once you've done this for a while, you can see an uncontested clean rebound before the ball's in the rebounder's hands.
I get beat once a half or so in varsity games. I'm not a fast person. I'll get an angle from behind. Doesn't bother me a bit.
