A. Those PCA's are for off-ball coverage as well (see C. below)

B. That "something off-ball that needs to be called" doesn't need someone to "go and get it" when, it's right there in a partner's PCA. Of course, wider court awareness will, hopefully, catch any of those "crew saver" calls that have to be made, as infrequent as they are

C. There always seems be a lot less "crap that needs to be cleaned up" when off-ball surveillance is good and off-ball fouls are called when they occur

D. "Imaginary lines"? They seem pretty definitive to me. Though for sure, if it needs to be called and it's "over your PCA line", I trust you're gonna get it. That's just good crew cohesiveness.
