having your fists in your chest (not extended) but elbows out to the side is considered legal, correct? Or, must the pickers arms but down at his/her side? As a coach, esp with girls, we taught them to have their hands/fists up in the middle of their chests (which brings the elbows up, makes your bigger). We've taught the boys to have their hands in a "protective posture," if you know what I mean. I am seeing a number of refs not allowing how we've taught our girls to pick. I allow it in the games I ref.
