Despite the fact that he's coaching his kids to play this way, I can virtually promise that the coach will squeal like a stuck pig if an official ever catches/calls one of his players doing what he's taught them to do.

I don't catch as much off-ball contact as I should in the L position, because I'm trying to be aware of a perimeter player driving into the paint, where the defense is positioned, etc...but I definitely call what I see, whether it's kid's rec, men's wreck, AAU or HS.
