Watching your POA is big, but when i leared to watch the defence in my POA, i began to see lot's of things i was missing.

I got a tip from Eric Lewis (NBA) at the Caldwell camp this summer, that I use continually.

"call out in your mind the color of the defence, and whichever end of the floor you are on, and that will make you watch the defence." I started going...red...red...red..or which ever color the defense is. After a while it becomes ingrained to just come down the floor looking for defensive players.

I find it more difficult in the lead to slow down the action as lot's is happening. In the trail, I do mainly 2 man, I continue to move to get good angles. You might find me down by the freethrow line extended or almost to mid court when out past the 28 foot line. This seems to slow down the action out there.
