I reworked my thought process in the two-man game a couple weeks ago.

I was trail on right side with 7 players, and my partner came over. He properly squared up on the lane to observe the post play.

I had A1 dribble down the sideline, to the end line, while being defended by B1.
As A1 turned toward the basket, about 4' on my partner's left, B1 bumped A1 causing A1 to step on the end line.

"Tweet!"

My partner called and out-of-bounds violation.

The Problem: I gave up the play to my partner, as I would do in a three-whistle, but the play was in my primary, and my partner was "on" his primary.
I should have taken the play deeper until I knew my partner was on it. There was no way he could have seen the bump peripherally while being squared-up on the lane.

Too soon old... too late smart.
