What kind of non-verbal communication do they do to show their partners when they are on-ball and off-ball?
I've heard this, and I'm pretty sure that it's discussed a lot in women's ball. But my question is, what kind of communication do you need? If the ball is in my primary, I'm on it. If it's not in my primary, then I'm off-ball.

Why does "opening up" to the play make anybody feel better about the coverage? If the ball is right next to your partner in his/her primary, don't you have to assume that s/he has on-ball coverage? I mean, if s/he doesn't have the coverage in that situation, you've got much bigger problems than communication.

Anybody want to share?
