Bottom line is the other teams chances of catching it are >>>>better if you are trying to catch it (holding it up in the air) versus spiking the damn thing down like volleyball. Just tell them to do the latter.
Going toe-to-toe with one of the worst coached teams demonstrates this fact I think. I’m not sure but maybe the reason they can’t win pretty is on the coaches and not the players. Situational awareness is amongst the worse I’ve seen in-game.
