NOT Player Control...

Once A1 passes he is just another member on the team with control of the ball.

We need more like him!

We have a few coaches around here that "get it." Unfortunately, the majority of them have resort to typical bark-at-the-officials-for-better-calls antics.

Yes, an aggressive "box-out" is a foul, I have called it many times. Likewise, as a defender in a zone , the player cannot "steer the cutter."
