However, I'm not sure that I would be certain in most cases. It's been a long time since I've worked 2man, but if I'm the lead I really don't think I'm going to be looking at the action near mid-court.

If a player grabs an offensive rebound in his paint and then heads in the opposite direction to the opponent's basket, what else is there to look at? The other 9 players are standing around with WTF looks on their faces. 2-man or 3-man, you should always know where the ball is on the court.

For some reason I thought the OP said he secured possession of the rebound near mid-court. After re-reading, I agree that I would likely have picked this up if he secured possession in the lane and then took off the other way across the length of the court.
