As L, you should stop to see the play and forget about getting to the endline.

Yup. The players don't get any older, but we do. We have to accept that we're going to get beat from time to time.
So....when you know you're beat, use the "button hook" maneuver. Move briefly toward the elbow and pause to see the space as the shooter goes up for the layup, pull-up jumper or dunk. You'll get a good in-between look from there. Then immediately complete the move to the end line, where you'll be ready to officiate additional action as the other players catch up.
The pause is very short (like half a second). Just enough to see and then get back. This is for 2-p. In 3-p, just get there cuz C will (should) have your back.
