closely gaurded count

[Tim Roden]

yes you need to use your periferal vision to watch other players. The closely guarded situation should be where most of the action is though. I can do a closely guarded count and see most screens close to the two players. You also need to trust your partner(s) to catch most of the off ball action. When you don't have the ball in your area, you need to be watching off ball and use your periferal vision to watch for the ball coming into your area.

I do remember watching a game being worked two man that had an interesting situation that I never did figure out how to handle. Ball was at the top of the key, trail was watching the ball. Lead was watching the key.

Just two the right of of the trail and out of his periferal vision but not in leads area a shoving match/fight was going on. Everyone in the building saw it but the offiicals.

The more I think of it, the more I think, lead should have been able to see it with his extended perifieral vision.
