Rotating as Lead in 2 Man?

Unless all 10 players have collapsed to that corner, the lead should not rotate all the way over. If you do this, you better be as deep off of the end line as you can so your peripheral vision can see weak side as well.

It's a great thought, in theory. Many of our older gyms have about 3 feet from the endline to the wall, though, making it impossible to work deep. On nights like those, the trail must be prepared to help from time to time as it's easy to lose your look with all the bodies in the way.

I rotate ball side in 2-person fairly often, but nowhere near as often as I do when working 3-person.
