Crew communication
unusual situations
free throw coverage
handling the gray area (where to pick up on-ball coverage)
jump ball coverage (be ready for a quick violation or drive to the basket)
secondary coverage areas (come and get any elephants v. Don't fish in my pond)
handling of subs
long switching
technical/flagrant/intentional fouls
consistency
how we'll call perimeter play
how we'll call post play
talking v. Blowing
getting/giving help on oob
intel about how the teams play
intel about the coaches
anything else that seems important
