I disagree 110%.

The L should move back as far as the players dicate. Period.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with the L being just below the division line as the original play was written.

The original play doesn't say exactly where the ball was. If the ball is still within 15 feet of the end line, I don't have a problem with the lead being just inside center. If the ball is coming out past the FT line extended though, the L should be moving his butt back with the ball. You can still get a good view on your area of responsiblity and the other players off-ball.

What's your take on the L getting such a great look on an OOB save on the far side of the court on this play, Slappy? You down with that too?
