Hands and arms flying, or, nothing obvious happening, and then all of a sudden the crowd roars, "WWWHHHOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!" and one player comes sprinting out with the ball and two players (other team) look at you like you've sprouted horns and -- hey, let's face it, you missed it!!

Next time, what adjustments do you make to try to cover the floor a little better?
Trail can (and should) go into the backcourt, and out onto the court to get coverage of this.

Lead can "peek" to help out -- there usually isn't much action going on down low during this trap -- all the players are watching to see the results as well.
