Like I said, there are two schools of thought about this. My experience has been that if the defense is playing man, and they have the discipline to stick with their man, then wider usually works better. If they're playing a zone, or if the defense collapses on the driver, the lane line is usually the better look. In intramural leagues, it's a crap shoot and you just have to adjust to how they play.

This is really a crap shoot. With more experience you can sometimes make an educated guess when "something" happens about what it must have been. But from the OP it seems like he was completely unaware that anything nefarious had happened. I'd rather look somewhat clueless for having missed this, than risk looking completely incompetent by calling something I didn't see and may very well be completely wrong about. Just my $0.02.
