Was told I hustle too much

However, when the ball goes opposite of your position and is well-above the FT line extended ... I personally move where I need to for angles and sometimes this means taking half dozen steps diagonally into the BC. If the ball squirts out of bounds on the L's sideline and he looks to me for help, I'm sureashell not coming up with a jump ball signal because of poor positioning.

Yep, for this two-man dh I was trying to pay attention to how much I moved to get in position to see what I needed to see. With the obvious exceptions of changes of possession and the occasional situations where an OOB line needed to be covered on a deflection, the karaoke two-step was all that was needed to see what needed to be seen well--sometimes one two-step followed by another two-step.
Of course there are situations where an immediate sprint is necessary, but I think the context of this discussion originated with the critical point that the official seemed to be zipping back and forth all over the place.
Hope things work well for you whatever adjustments you make!

I can hardly speak clearly with the whistle in the mouth!
