One of the key's I look for is where is the ball going to go. If the ball is on one side of the court and everyone is setting up on the other, odds are the ball is going to go that way. If you are on that side and the move is fast, close down and concentrate on the defenders, if the ball is coming to where you are, you can maintain your position ( inside near 3 point line )and then make your observations in your area of responsibilty.
Dale Kelly told us once in a meeting the lead should be ball side 96% of time, the problem we all have, is how do we determine the other 4%. Hopefully, you can be in position most of the time, but sometimes we can get caught in between moves,
hopefully,that is why the C abd T are there to help out.
Good Luck
