It's just a shortcut. Explain it out. I don't have a problem with that. Just get the new guy to move.
Nope, nothing to do with bad camp flashbacks or liking the words. It's the advize I object to. It has to do with using shortcuts and not explaining them that I have a problem with. "Find a reason to rotate" is a simple-minded, inane, content free knee jerk response that offers no help to the reader. In fact in the context of the game he's going to work it hurts more than helps.

Again, I'm much happier telling this guy to not worry about rotations, or to maybe give him 1 or 2 concrete examples of when he might want to go so he can focus on the game instead of running back & forth on the endline.

Obviously I'm not the go-to guy on this, but I think my advize makes sense.
