I suppose we did all we could. I'm just trying to work on optimizing my talking

"Straight up!" "No push!" "Get the arm off!" "Get the leg out!" That's about all I use and it tends to work. Even if they don't really know how to play defense, they can respond to simple commands like those.

It's also not your job to keep explaining the same thing over and over again.
