Hmmmm, not the way I heard it. My understanding is that we are now allowed to take a step or two into the lane, but then step back without completing the rotation, if the ball seems to be coming back at us. I don't think stepping into the lane is to get a look. It's just allowing us to rethink whether we really want that rotation. Whereas previously we were told, once you start, you must cross the lane.
Am I confused? About this, specifically, I mean. I realize that I'm confused about a lot of things. But is this one of them?

Maybe you're not confused maybe you're being told to apply this differently than I am. "If you have to, get in there to get a better look" sums it up, but of course be reasonable about it. And yes, it grew out of "it's OK to hesitate if the ball does something you didn't expect it to do". Anyway I added that because not everyone accepts that under the basket is NOT quicksand and should be avoided at all costs, and because I hoped it would start a flame war.
All it did was get me to trot out my Sinatra impersonation...Myyyyyyyy kind of town, Chicago is....
