It's all about working the arc. You need to be where you get the best angle between players. If you are high and can't see something you have to move lower to "get the angle" if you are low and can't see something........well you know "the rest of the story".

Ron hit the nail on the head. The Trail in a two-man crew has to work the arc. Assume (I know what happens when you assume) that Team A has the ball and is shooting at the basket to the left of the Scorer/Timer Table (as you sit at the table) and the Trail is Table Side. The Trail, depending on ball position, can range around three point from below free throw line extended to his left all the way to the right of a line drawn from one basket to the other and be in the backcourt when he is in this position. When a shot is taken, the Trail as to be ready to move to his left around the arc for rebounding officiating. When a shot is taken it is also about angles. The players' positions dictate how far to the left the Trail should go.
