Coaching points
- Look for the open man up top trailing the play. Move the ball to him faster than the defense can rotate (LaxLibrary).
- Middies, arrive a few seconds apart: not everybody needs to run into the middle at the same time. The first middie draws the slide; the second one gets the shot.
- Don't sub here, or you give the extra man back. Patrick DeBenedictis: pull a defender away from the net and find a trailer with an unimpeded shot.
