Freedom of movement is a rule given right

Snaq, I too let the coaches know lets be ready to play on the second horn.

I already use it with my partners in HS pregames based on who they are. I would never say anything about rules in a pregame with the captains as it relates to what we call during the game as HS coaches are also involved in those meetings. It is just a term, it does not mean you cannot make the point by only this term. This is a term college officials have been familiar with for some time already, HS officials might not be so familiar. But there are already things that can be discussed with the same premise in HS language or that HS officials have already heard.

Me too. Right after I tell them that it's the black line all the way around.

I get it. I let them know this because if their team is not at the spot for the throw in or hustling to the spot. I place the ball on the floor. RPP..

I don't tell the players, I only tell the coaches; and it's the only thing for which I've noticed any positive correlation. And even then, it's only really useful for the JV guys (the varsity coaches all know.)

Sorry, that was in response to Billy's goofball answer.

Freedom of movement should always come up in the pregame and we should strive to allow athletes to make athletic plays vs. weightroom plays.

IMO - we should have a high awareness for hands on the dribbler and cutters for any contact that affects RSBQ (Rythm, speed, balance or quickness).

Which is my response to some goofball pregame (coaches and captains) meetings that we have here in my little corner of Connecticut. I'm not proud of these, it just is what it is.
