1. Signals- Make sure we stop the clock on all whistles. Especially, player control fouls.
2. When reporting fouls, work on voice projection, cadence to the table and report what happened at the scene of the foul.
3. In 2 person mechanics, we must switch on all non-shooting fouls.
4. Staying in our primary and “throwing” strikes and not “balls” in our secondary.
5. On “hard” fouls monitoring the individual who was fouled.
6. For “3” person games, I thinking about the possibility of going opposite the table after a foul. 
7. Clock Awareness.
8. Trail position- “3” person. Stay side line oriented , move from there to get open angles. Start at 28 foot line.
9. Center position -“3” person.  Stay side line oriented, move from there to get open angle. Start at free throw line extended. If the ball is high, get one step low, if the ball is low, get one step high.

11. Working on going ball side in “2” person mechanics in the Lead position.
