Patient Whistle

[BillyMac]

Boys varsity. I'm the lead hanging back near the division line, table side, helping my partner with a press/press break situation. Offensive team is doing a good job at breaking the press, and several players from both teams are moving into the front court. As I'm making a quarter turn with my body to pay attention to the players in the front court, out of the corner of my eye I "kind of" see a player about ten feet behind me "maybe" take a few steps. I never really had a pivot foot picked out, so I passed on it, and started thinking about the crap I was about to get from the coach when my partner, as the trail, calls the travel even though he's about twenty-five feet away from the player. Thanks partner. Later he told me that he saw me make that quarter turn. That's what partners are for.
