Coach is using a walkthrough demonstration at the beginning of the session and then coaching on the flow (i.e., concurrent) of the session. Additionally, coach will stop the session (i.e., coaching process) and demonstrate adequate behaviors from either in and out of possession in order to facilitate the process of overloading wide channels more efficiently by presenting solutions for the problems defensive team demonstrates.
