- I feel like sometimes I move too soon before the ball is even in full possession.
If you move when possession is clear (or about to be clear, as JRutledge says) you may be slightly late in taking your position. If you move too early you will be late in case the ball actually goes in the opposite direction; by Murphy's law, this will surely happen.

We should do as in soccer: all players in their back court. The umpire will be sure about the direction of play, no more problems with over and back, ...
