If you're going to make a mistake, it's probably going to be this one. Remember that the "C" has the play all the way to the basket if the play starts from that side of the floor. The common mistake (and one that I still make too often) is to be the lead and not give the "C" first shot at a potential call at the basket.

But only for defenders that come in with the play. The lead has all plays for defenders that come from the lead's primary to help.

Remember you're probably the ONLY person in the gym who knows it's your first time. Summer ball is a great low impact environment to learn. Don't sweat it.

And...breathe.

It was 97 degrees F here yesterday, and it hit 97 degrees F again today. Both record highs for the dates. No sweat? You've got to be kidding me.

Follow up from OP?

So...how did it go? Any memorable events? Lessons learned? First impression of 3 man? (BTW...How's your mom?)

Billy, you should move to Florida...those Connecticut summers are brutal. I can remember as a kid it would get so hot, I'd actually swim in the Connecticut River...it was pretty gross back then.

It went very well overall. I wish I had more time right now, but I'll be back after work to post a more comprehensive recap.
