Blind Corner

Okay, so you've got your trail official at upper left, and your lead official at lower right. The ball and about four players are all in the upper right corner of the front court. Hands and arms flying, or, nothing obvious happening, and then all of a sudden the crowd roars, "WWWHHHOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!" and one player comes sprinting out with the ball and two players (other team) look at you like you've sprouted horns and -- hey, let's face it, you missed it!!

Next time, what adjustments do you make to try to cover the floor a little better?

Trail can (and should) go into the backcourt, and out onto the court to get coverage of this.

Lead can "peek" to help out -- there usually isn't much action going on down low during this trap -- all the players are watching to see the results as well.
