That said...if your instinct told you there was a foul you could have taken it, but I would be very careful doing this.

On the debate as to where the L should be positioned on this play: I'm very much in the get as close as possible camp. On this play I would have been at least at the lane line or wandered into the paint, not stayed wide or outside.

You have done a lot more of these types of games than I have, Dan, so I obviously am wrong about getting wide. I've got some questions, though. Where are you picturing the shooter and the probable foul-er as being in relation to the paint, and in relation to the lead? Looking back at the OP, I'm thinking you and I might be seeing very different plays?
