A1 jumps and throws a desperation pass to A2, who jumps between two defenders, catches the ball in the air and lands in the backcourt near the sideline opposite table. I didn't see A2 jump- I only see her land, but from her position I can presume she jumped from the front court.

question 1: Do I call the backcourt based on a presumed start to her jump?

My partner saw A2 jump and knows she jumped from frontcourt, but it is my call as trail.

Question 2: If you are the partner, do you make the call for me?

Question 3:As a trail covering a press in two man, how do I cover that much area of the court and see this play?

Q1: We try to avoid this, but I've seen some vets in my area make excellent calls based on experience.

Q2: In a press, I'm going to be helping as L, so yes I will make this call.

Q3: Not sure you can.
