Another first for me

How do you usually handle that? In Oklahoma the only classes that are 3 man are 6A and 5A, the top 2 classes. I do about 10 nights a season of 3 man. I know you stay with the ball when it leaves your PCA until the status of ball changes. When my partners and I go call the 3 man games, we don't usually worry about that, we just want to get it right, and I don't worry to much about Lead taking that even though it came from my PCA. Any thoughts?

Really depends on who I am working with that night...With most partners I try to explain why it was my call to make, and show them on the good old court diagram. With some partners, I just shrug and move on.

If your partners really want to learn, bring it up in the locker room in the form of a question..."Hey, I am really struggling with a play we had. I think it should have been my call, but I am not sure..."
