ball watching

So far this season I have done about 4 games and I have noticed my partners ball watching a lot -- even though pregame I tell them cover your primary and when the ball drops from mine to yours I will only release once you accept. Also any 3 pointers in the gray area I would rather have the trail mark it and then close down for the weak side rebounding action. however I still see a lot of calls through the lane, and marking 3's easily out of L primary or even T primary.

When I say something during a break like "I see you ball watching, lets try and cover our primary" I usually get a "no i dont" -- I make a conscious effort not to ball watch and to pay attention to the players but sometimes I guess i see myself just watching in amazement as my partners head is all over the place -- I know that means there are many players stabbing each other out of my view but I am fascinated by this. The swivel action has to stop and I propose here and now that it does....
