Transitional Fast Break Coverage

This is a play you gotta guess on. I do it all the time when working 2 person. You have a terrible view across the lane on a fast break as Lead. Watch where the ball goes and watch what the offensive players body does and make an educated guess. Some Trails will have the balls to get something like that from half court, some won't.

Really? I always thought the rule was "you can't call what you can't see" -- guessing can make for some horrific calls. I'm curious what others think about the idea of guessing there was a foul?

I don't mean a wild guess, I mean more of a calculated guess. When you don't have a great angle and your partner can't/won't help there are certain circumstances in which you need to run that calculation.
