If I haven't moved because I have a player right in front of me....
Sometimes I dive down, usually I move up. It depends on what gives me the better look at that instant, and for the next few seconds based on what I think the player will do with the ball. The odd time it also depends on who my L is. Some guys rotate a lot/quickly, others not as much.
In general, if the team passes a lot or looks to be in command of the game, I move little. If they are the type to play the scripted ball that isn't fast-paced, I cheat and lean towards going to the T because I know the L will come over anyways. I really only go further down if I think the ball will immediately be dribbled out to the point again.
