Z,
A different perspective [from a "shooter"] is certainly welcome.
Now, on the other hand, some players played defense. (see right-handed balls reference. [Uh..., dont bother. ]).
Johnny Quickstep was forced to go where the defense wanted him to go. If he happened to be quicker, the defender had to get somewhere ...sooner.
Peripheral vision will take care of locating the sideline.
Anticipation will take care of Johnny.
Offensively challenged players know this.
I know.

I had the offensive end figured out Mick. On defense, I'm not sure I ever got into LGP because as A1, I was rarely within 6' of B1. I had a 6'8" leaper on my team and he covered for me.
