Coaching points
- The lockoff never helps and never slides, whatever he sees. If his man cuts, he goes with him.
- Take away their best feeder, scorer or playmaker. A short stick can lock off in most spots.
- The other five defend the other five. Here they play the crease slide; Kaley and Donovan play them as a five-man zone.
- Make the call before the possession so all six know who is locked.
