Last night, I didn't get in front of the ball once as the trail. I stayed out of bounds until the ball was on the court every time, too. I was very pleased with that. I also found that by doing this things felt a lot less "frantic."

A good mechanic that I've learned - which may be able to help you on your point of staying OOB until the ball is inbounded - is to stay on the endline until the ball/dribbler breaks the FT line extended. That way, if there is a quick turnover, you're not in the way.
