Time to rotate

[SCBroncos]

One technique that has worked for me when the lead won't rotate is to have the "C" force the rotation by sliding back into the trail position. As the C, if you want a rotation and aren't getting it, it is probably because you need to get a better angle on the play by moving into the trail position.

In my pregame with my partners, we go over how to recognize when a C is forcing a rotation and make sure that everyone else reacts accordingly. Usually if this occurs once during a game, the lead will recognize this situation next time down the court and rotate on their own.

If you are dealing with someone that is stubborn and just doesn't want to cooperate, then you have other problems. But remember, you are only as good as your crew and you are just as responsible for making sure that the crew has a good game as anybody else. If you really have a problem you should talk to the assignor.
