Conference During Timeout - Communication During Game

[rockyroad]

Worked a Girls Varsity game last night that was also ugly. Neither team very skilled at the guard position, but both kept trying to press...lots of fouls...lots of turnovers...one of my partners was clearly not on the same page as two of us, so we did the mini conference thing at all 3 of the timeouts called in the first half. Did the whole "I am not comfortable with..." conversation, and IMHO it helped. Got us all on the same page, made for more consistent calls and better floor coverage, and helped make the game flow as smoothly as it was going to...

So yes...these mini conferences can help at times.
