It is really not any different than watching for it to hit the rim and watching the players. When player can enter on the release, you no longer care about the rim and can shift your focus a little more towards the shooter....maybe taking a slight closer position.

I think they might wait another year if the mechanics manual needs an update.

Great? Are they going to switch the side that the trail, and lead, observe? Again?
