...no there will be no need for that after a little practice. You will see that shirt and your partner will see yours. You may want to say, "I'm here." but it is better if nothing is verbalized.
...just because Lead went to strongside, unless Lead is "squared up" on the ball, Trail still has the ball.
...when the Lead is "squared up" on the ball and not the paint.
...lead should be squared up on the paint. The entire drive from Trail's primary should be left to Trail, but remember for every primary we have a sceondary.

It looks as though you're saying I should use body language to communicate with partner, as in "square up." I understand, and appreciate your pointing it out. I've heard it before but haven't really digested it in the past.
I think you're saying, more or less, that as lead I should cut across when I would have last year, but be more aware of the ball as it drops down into strong side, and demonstrate to partner new primary coverage by "squaring up". As trail, I cover normally, until I see partner square up, and then hustle for an angle on whatever needs attention. Does that sound like a good summary?
