Coaching points
- The crease middie sets the pick for X: his defender is a short stick (little), X's is a pole (big). A switch puts the short stick on your best dodger.
- If they switch, attack the short stick. If the pole goes under the pick, come off it with steam and go.
- Picker, roll to the front after the pick. Virginia used it more as a way to dodge than as a box pick-and-roll; fake one side and set the other (the swing pick), or refuse the pick and go the other way.
- One college staff doubled behind and pulled the goalie out to cover the roller (POWLAX, one clip).
