Kicked one tonight, hope I learned my lesson

[bas2456]

I had one tonight, not necessarily similar to your situation, but it was at the same time.

I was the lead in a two man crew. The ball comes down into my corner, and A1 lets go a 3-pointer. After the shot, I turn my attention to the rebounding action.

Turns out, I should have stayed with the shooter longer, and I knew it right away.

Of course, A1 ends up on the ground, with a loud "Aaahhh".

Whether or not it was actually a foul, I don't know, but I'll remember to stay with the shooter longer next time, especially in lead.

I usually have no problem doing this in trail, but in lead for some reason I thought I had to get back to the rebounding action.

Protect the shooter. Your partner, as the trail, will take care of the rebounding action on this play.

There are situations where this can happen legitimately and you shouldn't feel bad. For instance, if B1 is closely guarding A1 as they leave your PCA, you should continue your count. To do that, you'll have to be on the ball when it's in C's PCA.

If A1 goes up for a shot, of course, you should turn your attention to rebounding and let C stay with the shooter. Even tougher if A1 is right at the elbow (where the PCA's overlap).

Bas...2nd yr,here...I'm still having the same problem on the same play when I'm in L. No I shouldn't be doing it.. I've been better lately, but still having a hard time breaking the habit.

Hopefully I've learned my lesson after last night. It's always after you learn things the hard way that you improve on them.

I finally figured out that the secret to improving more quickly was to have as many "learning experiences" as I could as quickly as I could

Watch the shooter up, watch them down.
Partner, I trust you!!
Relish the moment.
