The active players who care about positioning are generally (generally) the better players; the active officials who care about positioning are generally (generally) the better officials.


6th grade aau is known by another name: stealing money. I've worked my own share of solo games, up thru JV HS, and I go from free throw line to free throw line, never baseline to baseline. Your friend was getting a good workout but I bet he didnt see much.

We agree that it's all about your position on the floor. I, for one, practice solid mechanics even when working multiple games, which includes generally switching when required. But switching or not switching on fouls has nothing to do with your position to make good calls.
