Tome - was your instruction from an NBA school of thought ????? And are you originally a Brd #12 guy ( DC)......

I guess the answer would be yes it is from a NBA school of thought, but it makes sense. A direct path to the best position is the most efficient.

As far as board 12...that is an interesting story and something I was vilified for. Yes, I was on board 12 and 134.

Direct line = straight line (as quickly as you can)
Anything else = not a straight line (not as quickly as you can)

Now, I'm not saying anyone should get ran over, but the odds are that if someone has the thought process that taking a direct line can get them ran over they will always think that way and not take a direct line even when they can. I am always of the mindset to adjust to less than perfect situations instead of planning for them.
