I cover the "V" and simply say when who has the ball in the "tweener" situation. Some guys like to signal or voice they have the ball. I just want to know what they expect and how we will handle it. I do not work with the same people all the time and work with people of various levels of experience. Not everyone is knowledgeable about mechanics and coverage.
I am talking about it here more than I have to do when working actual games.
