Not used to hearing vets speak as you did initially, but...

It was a statement made tongue in cheek. Just airing some concerns out in this forum. As I said, my only game with U1 didn't go real well and when I said to him at half time "let's ensure we establish good eye contact and inform each other if we will be shooting or inbounding" he got very defensive. I tried to remind him to slow down on reporting so we ensure the table knows what we called. Again, he got defensive. He jsut kept reminding me how long he had been calling ball. At that point I decided to let it go as I didn't want to have to call the rest of the night with a pissed off partner .

The mistakes U2 made are rookie mistakes - we all made them and still make mistakes.

So, you're working with Yabut & Costello.

I heard that! I know how that can be, I am just now learning how to trick my partners into doing what I need them to do.

"I'm not rotating well, what can we do to have better rotations in the 2nd half?"

"I'm doing a terrible job of giving you eye contact, will you help me with this?"

Funny how switching the situation around & putting it on myself doesn't make my partners defensive & keeps them open to admitting their mistakes.
