#1006: This is an often-used but greatly misunderstood saying about which player takes the ball, depending on the angle at which it crosses the net. Coach Deb Harrison thinks beginners and intermediates may have never heard the phrase, whereas more advanced players think they know what it means...but there's a good chance they don't! Coach Deb calls the middle of the court between the partners "Divorce Court" because players miss the ball but blame each other because they aren't clear whose ball it is.

#1005: Coach Leia Miller talks about common smirking reaction to making a point off a net cord hit — "Sorry... not sorry" and asks whether its funny — or rudely snarky? Other pickleball etiquette issues are responding to partners' errors with eye rolls and a "resting bitch face" instead of smiling and being encouraging for the next shot. Or guys who lose their cool about their own errors by swearing, smacking their paddle on their thigh, or slamming it on the net — without considering the negative affect it has on everyone else on the court — or even adjacent courts!

#1004: Coach Greg Dedrick discuss this phrase that is often used when a shot is missed down the middle of the court, but he explains how there really would be no riddle to solve if players understood which player should rightly be taking that mid-court shot.
