ALIGNMENT ISSUES

what is going on• Discuss procedure with partner in pre-match
discussion• Don’t give them a break• Don’t rub it in• Don’t try to be cute
DISCRETE SIGNALS

and anticipate when they might be screened• Consider judgment vs rule• What are they?– Ball handling– Back row situation – Any others
