on the part about partners calling out of primary and court coverage snafus after we pre-game who covers what in the gray zone and what happens on contact in the gray zone I still get a lot of guys calling through the lane and fouls that occur after the play has turned away from them and they get straight lined when their partner is the only one with a clear look at any contact.
When I mention any of this I can tell that most of them dont give a rats azz to listen to me because most of the time I am at least 10-15 years their junior. It takes a lot for me to get frustrated and one thing that gets me is erors that happen after we plan on what to do in those exact situation and then after the first screw up and I go over with them "Hey partner please hold your whistle for a second on those calls through the lane -- and unless you have a felony trust me to make that call" what do I get -- more calls through the lane -- and most of the time they are on plays that has the ball handler going away from the basket or towards the endline not the paint.
