Initially I thought the offense was going to catch the outlet pass and continue down court and the pass went long over the offensive players reach so I was moving as such.....then the D stepped up like a football DB and intercepted the long pass ...the D was set up for FCP to set up the trap once the ball came on the court....bad pass...and I do agree I put myself in the straight line...it happens sometimes...
