I have noticed myself doing this recently. As Trail, I try to keep all of the players within the triangle made by me and my partners. As such, when long rebounds happen, many players will start running down the court in anticipation of a fast break, which forces me to sometimes "bail" before the rebound is secured.

What takes precedent? Keeping all players inside our coverage or staying where we are until the rebound is secured?

"Do not follow the flight of the ball. Referee players"

I guess the Trail can do this in the women's game because GT and BI is so rare, but this would never work in a HS boys game or for NCAAM.

Also, I can think of one frequent situation when this instruction becomes very poor--a try near the expiration of the shot clock, necessitates that an outside official observe the flight of the ball to determine whether it struck the ring.

Be careful here. I thought the same thing in a high school girls game, until a three point shot at the buzzer touched a support cable above the backboard.

Which is more likely to cause a problem (require a judgment on a call / no call)? Which can you more quickly adjust to cover?

Stay and referee the play at hand. Position your body to catch any leakers in your peripheral.

We're told officiate what's in front of you not what may happen. If you get beat to the other end it'll probably be by three players at the most and it's not going to happen all game long (or at least it shouldn't). If you can't make it to the end line just find an angle to officiate outside in.

Look at it this way: Where are you more than likely going to have an issue, with the two players running to the other end or the eight players in front of you? I use the same philosophy in two-person and it's helped keep me much more sane.
