Question: On a play where the defender tips the ball from the front court into the backcourt, and the coach is yelling for an over and back, I have seen this "brushing" to let them know that the ball was tipped by the defence. Is there a better way (nonverbal) to let them know that you are on top of the play?
None that I know of. I like to give the "brush" as soon
as I see it's going to be close, this way there's no
doubt I'm on it before the coach starts politely asking
why I missed it.
