Thanks for info!

It appears that our evaluators simply want us on the outside of the thrower unless it puts us outside of the 3 point line, as their preference. I can absolutely understand why some of you are saying that you are standing inside the thrower.

Based on personal experience, I have yet to have a thrower in bound the ball, have the ball or play go towards the post and have my look blocked out by the thrower.

I suppose it can happen, and happen regularly, and maybe I should just feel lucky it hasn't happened to me.
