I'm getting to this late, but I'm confused. They didn't jump? Or they didn't tap / touch the ball? I think it's only the second that's required.

And, I agree with the double direct T approach. If that doesn't work, then direct T's on the coaches. Use 2-3 if needed.

Isn't that the norm with white kids from Wisconsin?
