PA: You are to be commended for wanting to improve your plate meeting. TAke advantage of the offers you've been given by others.
Laminate it, Bronze it, TAtoo in on your rear if you want..
BUT
DO NOT pull it out at a plate meeting!!
Practice practice practice, do some JV games so you can screw up, but to repeat:
DO NOT PULL OUT YOUR HOLY LIST at the plate meeting!
It looks dum, its unprofessional, you would "appear" to not know what you are doing. (And of course you do).
Nothing irritates me more than the PU partner who pulls the dead sea scrolls from his pocket and starts to read ("Item 1 of 37.. Bats not made of wood are permitted!" as the two managers look astonished and I just think about England. They wanna hear, "Slide or avoid" and that's it.
Of course we give them more, but remember.. LESS IS MORE!
Also, since you gotta "wing" it, the last thing you say, to your partner who has REMAINED SILENT throughout is, "Bobo, anything else we need to cover?" So Bobo can now SAVE you by reminding you that you need to cover the TIME LIMIT and COURTESY RUNNERS!.
