Yea, in general you're right (especially the part about being patient since I know I did it too!!)
But I'm finding that a certain percentage of vets SAY the words about looking off-ball, but they don't do it. In fact, I had one partner that I finally just watched off- ball the whole game. I mean, someone had to!!
