We also need to know when the pass in released. I'm not talking about staring at the thrower, but if you can't see him, you aren't doing the job properly. And I don't buy that you're going to pick up on the player stepping on the line if you're not watching the thrower.

Disagree. I'm no farther from the sideline than most plays when the ball is already inbounds. Why would the fact that it is a throw in make it harder for me to take 2-3 steps to get out to the sideline. Remember, we're talking a throwin at the 3-point line or wider, not close to the paint. I'd rather be in a position a few steps from the ideal sideline coverage position than a lot of steps from the ideal post coverage position.

It's harder to get the the sideline because there is a player between you and where you need to be. I don't know about you, but I haven't figure out how to successfully move through a player.
