We're starting our second week of games in NVA and just ended a few Kick-Off Tournaments.

IMO I think the players have adjusted pretty well and it's good to see them playing D at a distance. When we do call the foul for "hands," many times the coach just reiterates the point, "You can't do that" or "Stop with the hands." The sub-V teams and lessor talented and slower players have more problems, as they get beat more often and will stick out their hands to slow the defender down - one of the purposes of the emphasis.

I do believe I've called more fouls "on the block" though, but that's probably me adjusting and calling what I should have called all along.
