1. In transition, how far into the front court should the trail official go?

2. What should the trail official be watching during fast breaks layups?

Again - this is a two-man crew.

Also - what do you do when you find yourself as the trail beating the lead official down the floor? (Because the lead isn't in good enough shape to stay up with the play.)

1) To wherever you would go if you were the trail during a non-fast break opportunity. For me, that's somewhere between the top of the three-point line and the free-throw line extended. So, I don't think you were too deep.

2) The players other than the dribbler and the closest defender -- those belong to your partner.

Also) Discuss it with him / her. Then you can either continue to the lead, have him / her take a different position as trail (so s/he doesn't get beat as often), o rjust follow the normal rotation, call your own game and let him/her take the heat.
