2. If the ball is in the corner, strong side near the end line, how many sets of eyes should be on the ball?

3. How quickly do you rotate, and what's your key? Ball or post players?

1. Sure, why not? You may start counting late because you're more concerned about contact since the action is close to the hoop.

2. NFHS if it's outside the arc it's hard as the L not to look since it's so close to you. As the L you have to at least be aware of what's going on since endline OOB calls are yours.

3. Ball. When the ball settles away from you at the FT line extended or below, you go. You should be mirroring the movement of the ball from your A-B-C positions (check the manual). As you go keep officiating the area you're leaving until you get to the other side of the lane. You try not to go if there's a shot or a drive to the hoop imminent. If you see that happening and you're already on the move but you haven't reached "C," just stop and go back.
