He said he likes to get near the middle of the court, depending where the dribbler is, to get a better position.
I asked him about his positioning...he called it "splitting the court".
In your opinions, how far is too far in relationship to the T and C when "splitting the court"?

As T in 3-man, I might come 10' away from the sideline. In 2-man, I go where I'm needed. I have even forced an east-west rotation, because I refuse to get trapped not seeing something in that 'dead zone' - across the DL and still shallow for the L.
