Absolutely - we do a postgame together - discuss what went wrong. In pregame next night we review how we are going to improve from the previous game.

What would happen to your friendship(s) if something went awry?

We haven't had that problem - we don't blame each other for problems. It isn't a "you missed a rotation", it's we need to watch each other more closely - I didn't feel we did a good enough job at that tonight. I think we are hardest on ourselves than the others. If there was a problem where one is weak - we usually bring it up on our own. "I wasn't with it tonight - I know I missed a couple rotations"

If someone gets sick or hurt is the whole crew done?

This is where you have to adapt. Last year, my 2 man partner had knee surgery in August. I did some games with someone else who was ready to start moving up. My partner came along with us and after game did a critique.

What about the issue of advancement? Do you take that into consideration? Is it a "as the crew goes" mentality? Do you fear that a partner(s) could hold you back because you're now viewed as a single crew? Are you trying to advance only as a crew?

The way our crew works together we don't worry about being "held back". We work together and help each other. If there comes a time I feel I am holding them back - I will step aside and tell them they need to find someone who is able to progress further with them. I feel they would do the same. There may come a time we all say - hey lets cut back - do less or lower level games together.

If this is the best way, then why isn't it this way in College/NBA?

Don't have any idea - but are you implying the College/NBA do it better?
