Agree 100%.

I don't see any negative body language by the Lead. He just improperly cedes the call to the Trail.

I said check it out, not what it was.

How do you properly cede the call?

The guy being referred to as "Trail" seems to be the C to me. I'm pretty sure I detect the real T sticking with backcourt situation bleacherside before the ball is advanced.

We don't have enough information, but both the new L and C are on the same side of the court in this transition play, and I'd love to know why. No indication there was an "instant" rotation initiated by L on this play. He seems to have been there the whole time.

What am I missing? It's late, so I'm sure it's something.

When the call is in someone else's primary.

Ugh. I may be young but I'm not worrying about the grasping ring here. He was mid jump when both guys started waving their arms around. Poor mechanics do not lead to techs. And as to the coach, a simple "coach, back up off the court please" would appear to work just fine. It's not like he was on an officials grill or 15 feet onto court. He was out about 1.5 feet and backing up as the ball came into play. Poor video instruction if you ask me


I wish I had a cool signature

[OKREF]

No chance I'm sticking either player or coach in this play.
