Primary Coverage Area

Find the most interesting action...the action most likely to create trouble. Hunt for trouble. Often, it will be the two nearest competitive match-ups as Nevada said, but not always.

Square you body to the area you should be watching. If you are to be on ball, face the ball. If you are off-ball, turn your body and not just your head towards the off-ball players you need to cover, wherever they may be. Also move to get the best view of what you need to see.

Thank you for this comment Camron. in my rookie year, I may have overemphasized focusing on PCA. Reading this post, I can work on improving my off-ball coverage this season.
