This may sound silly, but it works: Watch a basketball game on television with a whistle in your mouth. Sound the whistle, and give the appropriate hand signal (hand, fist, or held ball) in response to what you see on the television. It works. I promise.

It hard for the first years, but it will come natural. Work hard, Hustle, call the obvious, trust your partners, and be a good person.
