That's funny. We were discussing this in the 2nd meeting of the year, and the concensus seemed to be to leave it alone if the players weren't costing the game any time. If, by the time I have the ball ready to bounce, the players are almost back to their spots; I don't generally do or say anything. I had an AAU game, though, where it was getting out of hand. I just stopped the girls and told them not to huddle. Next time, I saw one of the girls on the block do a high-five motion from her spot to the shooter (neither player left her spot). I smiled and thanked her.
You're right about the different priorities. Here, I get all my games from my assignor (unless I want to do city league stuff), so I need to ensure I'm doing things the way they want them done. My first year here, I'm watching and learning. Am I calling too many travels? Am I calling the contact too tight? Too loose? Finally, am I watching the right refs to see how they want things done?
