Curious to hear about everyone’s lock left journey. I am a week or so into implementing the lock left with my varsity group. So far we have good success locking the ball left through man pressure as well as a conservative 2-2-1 to start the ball going left.
I’m noticing there’s missing communication and ball watching. Mainly from the guys who are playing as the Bear and Nail, they’re failing to matchup after the first 5-7 seconds of transition. Causing sloppy scrams on the back side when the skip is thrown.
My team is undersized and not very instinctive when closing off so this makes us very vulnerable to teams that make good reads in dominos. Is this common early on for many of you who’s implemented the lock left?
