Frontcourt Corner Coverage

[Camron Rust]

I don't think it is an either/or choice. Being aware of what is/was going on in the paint, you can make the choice to help on that shot or not. If there is heavy post action, you may not be able to look. But, if the post is quiet, why not? You're less than 10 feet from the shot, may have the best and clearest view. In fact, the NCAA-W and NBA want the lead to cover that, probably for those very reasons.

At all levels, mechanics are guidelines, not rules. They are intended to help us, as a crew, judge the game and apply the rules correctly. If we do the mechanics right but still miss the call, have we actually done anything right? Sometimes, the play dictates that we step outside of the lines to cover the play.
