Handball drill: mean "man" cover
Mean "man" cover
- I have never tried this in a match, but have heard of it.
- The opponent had one of the players, a tall strong top scorer, man-covered.
- The coach asked this player to move to the sideline and stand in front of the opponent's coach (a rather small man), so that the coach could no longer follow the game.
- The coach tried to follow the game by moving up and down along the sideline, but the player carried out his assignment perfectly.
- The coach could have ended the situation by lifting the man coverage or to sit on the bench, but instead, irritated, he made a grave mistake: he entered the field of play and pushed the player aside.
- This was of course noticed by the referee and the penalty followed immediately.
