Starting out strong...dang Rob
Tyler Haman
Great job by his partners by becoming the rodeo clowns in this situation right?

Natosha Harris
Luv the rodeo clowns comment so true
Nell Sandring Wesemann
Also great job sending teams to benches before initiating conversation with all 3 officials

Conversation and acknowledgment, address the behavior
Natosha Harris

Tyler Burroughs
A wise man once told me (in referring to Rasheed Wallace at the time): "We don't eject coaches and players. They let us know through their actions when they are done participating"
Natosha Harris
Doug Shows
Natosha Harris

Natosha Harris
When the ball is dead be alive!

Michael Castaneda
Serve the team losing, but protect the team winning
Natosha Harris
Thanks Crystal….Great quote Mike
Jon Broska
problems just don't go away
Jon Broska
that doesn't mean always go to a technical and be adversarial...find ways to improve the situation
Natosha Harris
Dead Ball awareness...stay with what is going to hurt you or put problems into your game = players
Joaquin Vidal-Collazo
My only comment about that play is getting in front of that player to T him up in that manner and then pointing at them
Joaquin Vidal-Collazo
The technical foul is 100% defendable, but I also don't want to show up a player in that way
Natosha Harris
Timeout is not the time to relax its a time to be aware
Tyler Burroughs
Little extra lemon with that T
Kevin Martin
What you allow you encouage
Joaquin Vidal-Collazo

Jon Broska
bench
Natosha Harris
Consequence of our whistle....high impact matched with high certainity
Natosha Harris
Embellishment is EVIL!
Joaquin Vidal-Collazo
I think it's worth mentioning that Lead can trust C to make a decision on this play since L was still finishing his rotation
Natosha Harris
Great blocked shot... NICE!
Natosha Harris
Reduce surprises
Michael Castaneda
Always ask yourself this question “What did the defender do wrong/illegal?
Nell Sandring Wesemann
Can we discuss how C had many players in front of her vision for that action? Even if the play is hers
Jon Broska
the C broke into jail on that one...nobody says a word to her if she doesn't blow. Hence why we want discipline and understanding our primary and when to leave it
Natosha Harris
Fo' sho Mike! Yes we can Nell
Natosha Harris
Great point Broska
Tyler Haman
I have a questions about what factor patience comes into play in these situations, especially on that first charge call. Does having a patient whistle in these situations and letting yourself process more help? Is this a way to help yourself in these situations?
Natosha Harris
NO
Michael Castaneda
We promote buckets
Natosha Harris
Great question Tyler we will ask after Nell's question
Natosha Harris
Sometimes you have to through the manual out the window...situational awareness
Sophie Rattray
no lead help either
Michael Castaneda
You are right Sophie
John Schellhase
should the lead be as wide as possible on that play? he seems to be very closed down
Kevin Martin
Outstanding Rob
Scott Flickinger
Surgical precision breakdown.
