IAABO Mechanics ...

With the old rule, and our old two-person IAABO mechanics, as the lead, I had no problems watching the other side of the lane, and the closest player to me on my side. Getting deep was the key to seeing what I was supposed to see. Now with the new rule, and the new IAABO mechanics, I've been having some problems in my scrimmages getting a good look the player closest to me, on my side. The answer is not getting deep, in fact, standing on the endline, and backing away from the lane a few steps toward the sideline. I still wish we would go back to the old NFHS mechanics. The lead had everyone on the opposite side of the lane, and the trail had everyone on the opposite side of the lane, and the shooter. Easy, simple, no problems.
