Mechanics question

[Daryl H. Long]

Lotto, from your description your mechanics were fine. It was your partner's call all the way. He should have maintained a distance behind all players so that on a defensive steal he can still beat B to baseline (I am usually about 8-10 feet) and enough to side so not in way of A's passing lanes or to allow dribbler to be able to retreat if necessary.

When ball went opposite your only responsibility was sideline (ie whether player OB or not). You correctly maintained coverage of your primary area. Great job.

Your partner should have moved nearer to center of court still maintaining 10 second count and responsible for dribbler or player in control in backcourt.

As for 3-man it could have been either C or T in position to see this call.
