Partner with different philosophy

[JS 20]

Joe, I respect your perspective and your opinion. I simply disagree. I think we're both being a bit vague and probably would agree if we actually had a conversation about it not shortened by typing on the computer. I don't call all over the court or anything like that. I understand consistency. If there's 3 minutes left and the game is tied, I'll go to my partner during a timeout and we'll talk about things like "hey we haven't called 3 seconds all night, haven't done thsi or that, etc" and make sure we stay consistent. But if in that 3 minutes i keep telling a kid to get out of the lane and he doesn't, i'm going to get him.

Regarding your highlight of my response, I need to elaborate. At this point, I'm concerned w/ calling the game accurately while maintaining good mechanics. The game hasn't slowed down enough yet for me to have the same thoughts and theories as my veteran partners IMO.

In reply to wondering how it took me so long to get a taste of HS ball, I started at 18, I was in college for 4 years and I've traveled quite a bit for work until this year. I didn't have the time to dedicate to it. Don't assume I'm terrible b/c of my experience level or anything like that. Good for you on working college games in your 7th year. I hope I can move up in the ranks just as fast as you did.
