If someone says, hey you threw me off by calling that... then they need to work on their game.

Quick note... Not sure if you ment calling out a person when you think it's their ball...


It's good to say someones name your passing too. Not really needed - helps in quads/triples.

DON'T call out "yours", "you go" or someones name on a receive coming over the net. If no one calls "mine" - that means no ones taking it. It takes too long to process "yours" - "oh crap, he wants me to take it?!" - opposed to "no ones calling mine" - "mine!".
