Coaching points
- Carrier, attack the goal and make him commit to you. When he does, give it to your partner for the finish; when he doesn't, you shoot (Zimmerman and England, Lacrosse Drive).
- Partner, stay wide of the crease and off the carrier's line so one defender can't guard you both, and talk to him.
- Zimmerman and England's other calls for the partner: Early (pass early and look for it back), One more (take the better shot), Right away (he is charging hard, move it now).
- A 2v1 is where a 4v3 ends up if you keep moving the ball to where the slide came from (Nick Pietras).
