JRutledge: Several Forum members tend to disagree with you (and several agree with you). Let's agree to disagree, and go back to our corners and handle it the way our assigners wants it done.

Falls into the same category as getting them lined up for free throws properly...certainly not by the book, but I'm looking to help teach the game at this level.

I think you have to read the game to know. Some times they should know better, sometimes they're barely able to hold the ball. At those levels, you have to call the game to a level that they specific players in the game are ready for.

I agree, and I probably approach this the way Billy does.
