I think M&M's advice is very good. You have to make a split-second decision and either go very wide or move into the middle of the floor. Your decision will depend on where the player is, obviously. If he/she is close to the sideline, then you want to get out onto the floor, and vice versa.
I agree. LEt me add that, especially during a quick turn-over (or durign a press), you also have to know where your partners are. It might be necessary to work the front-court under two-person mechanics for a while until old-L / new-T can get back.
