While I agree that too many clinicians talk when they run out of things to say, this is still good advice, especially for the guy who doesn't have a great deal of in-season 3 man game experience. I find out every year when working with guys at camp that aren't new, but worked 80% or more of their games in 2 man, that they don't rotate near enough. Some not at all.

Sure I agree with that. But how is "find a reason to rotate" going to get their azzes over to the other side of the court? It's not IMO

What these guys need are 2 or 3 or 4 good reasons to rotate to work into their game.

I think what advice like this is aimed at is giving the advisee a change of mindset. We've all seen the inexperienced 3-person L perched on the precipice of close down, body leaning forward, unsure if he should really rotate. "Find a reason to rotate" changed my thinking about rotation from wanting to be 110% sure before I went, to literally looking for reasons to do it. Once the mindset was in place, it was fairly simple for clinicians to teach me 2 or 3 or 4 specific triggers I should be looking for.

I think it's the same with the 110% call after kicking one. It's attempting to give the camper something positive to focus on after kicking a call, rather than wallowing and getting skittish about not blowing any more calls. Kind of the same difference in mindset as that between "win" and "don't lose".

Just my $0.02

OK, this one is like whatever. You say potato, I say mushroom soup. Now we disagree. If you think it's tough knowing when to rotate waiting for that 110% moment just wait until you need to get to 110% before you blow the whistle.

There is no way after a call I know is not the best ever made that I will stop blowing my whistle until I am 110% sure there is a need. What if I'm just 107% sure? What if I'm 119% sure but it's sorta kinda out of my primary but is a game changer? You start over thinking this stuff and before you know it you're in the locker room at halftime getting dirty looks from your partners.

Blow a call? Move on. It happens, just don't let it happen again.
