Tell me if I'm on the right track with this:

Yes, new L has gotta bust his butt to get to the endline. Careful, however, not to accept the play head-on and end up in a straightlined, stacked situation. When that occurs and a call is made, it's usually based on an assumption that illegal contact has occurred, not that it actually happened.

The vital key to this transition is really the C. He's gotta be just as aggressive getting down court to get a good look at the transition drive to the hoop when challenged by the defense.

Sometimes L will be stacked, other times C will be stacked, depending on angle of challenge by the defender. Whichever of the two, having hustled in transition not necessarily to a standard spot but to cover the play, who has the best look at the slot needs to make the call/no call.

Reviewing dozens and dozens of similar plays on video this summer, the chief problem I see isn't with L, with sufficient speed, getting to the endline, it's when there's a lazy C just lolly-gagging down court, assuming this is L's play regardless--L ends up straightlined and the proper call/no call doesn't occur.

For 2-person, the demand to pull this off consistently is simply that much more challenging and the L needs to get to a position to get the slot more than he needs to always get to the close down position.

Am I on the right track with this? I respect and will gain from those whose opinions differ.
