I've noticed that sometimes the pro's seem to be running just for the sake of running. Something I've heard called "false hustle". Now, it might be that they are set when seeing the catch, but then sprint to get closer to the play to make the signal.

We know that angle is more important then distance, but unfortunately the other's around us don't. So, we might want to move closer to the play while signaling to appease those people.

Often on a close play, I will set to make my call then take a few more steps toward the base or where ever the play was. It gives the impression that not only did I have the proper angle but I was closer to the play. Many people (maybe some coaches) do not understand angle or distance.
