Block. I'm not convinced the right foot gets down. I had a block at full speed. In slo-mo, it's closer, but still a block.

The A coach needed a T early on. The purpose of a T is less to punish a coach than to modify his behavior. I appreciate your desire not to penalize kids for adults' behavior, but this guy's...

48 games, about 2/3 HS girls, most of them varsity.

1 assistant coach.
1 illegal substitution.

Not a bad year. Maybe coaches are getting more polite.

Nah, I don't think so either.

W&S--

Thanks for the sensible answer.

I'm going deep. The positives of seeing all of the play outweigh the negatives of being tempted to look outside my area.

Thanks, everyone.

This leaves only one of my questions unanswered:

If it's so much to our advantage to get deep as lead, why are we encouraged to be shallow as lead on a 3-person crew? I don't...

How about a dribbler whose legs get tangled up with the defender sliding along near him/her? Both players go down, and it's unclear who caused the tangle. No call?

Yeah--I'm just trying to stave off the shouts of "One-and-one!" until everybody gets it. That's why I verbalize "Team control foul!"

"boxing out"

Try saying: "She can box out, but she can't displace her opponent." Watch the coach's eyes blitz around like slot machines at the word "displace."

I suggested watching as much ball as possible...and I agree. Watch college (both men's and women's) rather than NBA. Watch the officials' eyes...ask the question "What are they looking at and why?"
