Hi guys,

I've been away all day and unable to respond.

here is my point of view. Right now I'm doing games ranging from 3rd and 4th grade kids, 7th & 8th grade cyo, and high school freshmen and jv boys and girls.

Now, I can tell you that I am not going to call the 4th graders game the same as the JV Boys game, unless you consider that I will call all of the lines and will work to find the level of play at which we can have a flowing basketball game. At each and every level I will call advantage/disadvantage. Period

Now, the scrubs come in, maybe the trailing coach capitulating by bringing his in first. While there is a chance ("so you're saying there's a chance!") that the trailing team can mount a comeback, you basically have 10 kids on the floor from the ends of their respective benches. I'm suggesting making a move from the level that the game has been called to that point, to maybe the level of an 8th grade cyo game.

Maybe I don't get the kid for moving his pivot foot while not being closely defended whilst 30 feet from the basket.

Does all that make sense?
