CALL OUT THE OBVIOUS ANYWAY

Many things can (and usually do) go wrong on the defensive end, and some of those things can lead to easy baskets for our opponents.

One of the things I see most often is the lack of communication between defensive players. For instance, have you ever watched a screen being set where both defenders instinctively switch? It happens, but more often than not, one defender will switch without calling "switch" and the defensive breakdown occurs.

Although the defender that switched thought it was obvious that the switch needed to occur, no one else thought it.

Just as an athlete uses their feet and hands as weapons on the court... so must they use their voice. Talk to one another to keep the defensive effort alive. Call out the obvious anyway!
