Talking to teammates, helping each other verbally, is one of the most obvious differences (if you are on the court) between good players and mediocre ones. “I’ve got the ball,” “Watch the pick,” “Watch behind,” “Help-help-help.” There are dozens of reminders that can be repeated over and over again throughout a game that help a team perform better.
Just getting in the habit of calling out your man each time on defense, and getting your teammates to call out theirs, will end up saving baskets over the course of a game or season. Talking ends any possible confusion (should I take that man or will she?). Talking helps teams coordinate it’s activities and assure everyone is working together.
If you are not now in the habit of constantly talking during the action of the game, you may be surprised at how often your mere words can help your teammates make a play.
