Coverage "Thirds"

From Scrapper1: I believe you can visualize the vertical third of the court this way. Divide the court in thirds by extending the free throw lane lines from endline to opposite endline. The middle sections (containing both free throw lanes) is the "middle third" of the court.

On our Board, we refer to these "thirds" as A, B, and C, in no specific order, and use this method to help visualize court coverage and primary coverage areas, as the ball moves from one "third" into another.
