The above should be the ultimate goal.

I was being evaluated during a Christmas Tournament about 4 years ago, the evaluator came in at halftime and asked be about a call I made in the 1st quarter. I told him I couldn't remember the play. He tried to remind me, and I nodded my head like he jarred my memory. Needless to say at the end of the game when I got my copy he checked the "Not ready for post season play" box and commented that I have a memory lapse. His quote was if you can't remember what happened 8 minutes ago, how are you going to resolve a possession arrow discrepancy? He also told me that I have to manage the game on the court and in my head. If you can't do both you're never going to make it.

And you just assume that he's right.

You don't remember every single play that happens. For him to expect you to remember something just cause he focused on it is idiotic.
