Very good advice there. If a clinician asked you why you called something, tell them and if they tell you that you blew the call, say ok and move on. Don't fight what they're telling you.

As far as being out of position, try and remember your partners' first names and be vocal on the court. If you have two Leads in transition , you can yell something like "bob, you're in the C!!!". It's ok to communicate on the court. I've never heard a clinician say not to do it and most I've encountered will encourage it. If you have some people w/ little 3 person experience there will probably be some goofs in late rotations and transition. Someone isn't going to realize they're the new Lead and they'll have an "oh s***" moment when they realize they've gotta bust it up the court.

Be a strong "C" official. Follow plays to the basket out of your primary, if you have a double whistle, come strong and take it.

Hustle, concentrate and as a clinician at a camp told our group, "you have TWO ears and ONE mouth for a reason". Good luck!!
