I've been told not to guess on 3 or 2. If you don't know, it's only worth 2.

So if your Trail wasn't sure, then he handled the play poorly. One cannot make a call AND THEN seek help. One should seek help first and then make the decision.

Given that the team was trailing by 3, you probably suspected that the player would pull up and attempt a 3 rather than continue to the basket. By understanding the game situation you can put yourself in a position to observe the most important action which is about to unfold. In this case you desire a place from which to view both the location of the shot and the two players under the basket. Why not hold in the C position at the FT line extended in this case as you transition down the court? It seems that would have been the most appropriate position.
