My matchup defender makes a quick steal [I am on this thing and see a clean pick] and stealer throws a quick pass to a streaking guy down the other side. So I am 2 steps below the Free Throw line extended and "Voila!", my New Lead had made me the New Trail.

Two things about this scenario, Mick.
1) If you've got the ball above the FT line with a matchup near the lane, then I'm rotating anyway. Whether we're using my "just go" mentality or not. That's a perfect recipe for a rotation, no? If the C has the ball and a second matchup, we should be rotating.
2) In this situation, if your Lead forces a rotation and you get caught behind the fast break, so what? Pull up and officiate it from the C position. How many times a game will this happen? If you get beat once, or even twice, a game, I don't see that as a big deal.
Just go!!
