A resounding yes to all of these. I would even add several more :
-as a parallel to your sideline com. Communication has to happen on the field, defense is not in time to react so that is where it should happen;
-play the way you face, do vision (inwards) pivot. Vision is paramount and that is the best moment to gather information. Turning down field blindly while seeing the sideline, the score, how much water is left in your bottle before seeing a viable option is laughable at best a huge mistake at worst. As a corollary, decelerate into your catches to create a better balance;
-In the modern science category Training Under Fatigue (TUF) is useless. You are better off working on throws then doing conditioning than throwing after a hard workout to work out on throwing when tired. All scientific articles are quite adamant regarding this.
-Finally my favorite, stacks.... Why on earth would you :
1-clog the best space to be on the field (the center) (or set up near a sideline)
2-Assume the defense will be 1-on-1 and leave the initiative to the defense (yes a zone/clam/hybrid/flex/triad completely shuts it down)
3-make most of your options unusable because hidden blob of players
4-separate your vision (open/break/dump) instead of having them all available
5-having player compete for the same space
6-forcing a useless sprint (clearing out) for the whole offense to work.
I agree with most of these! Re the coaches on the field in between points, in my experience usually to call the pull play or the type of defense we’re going to run (similar to an OC in football calling a play or a DC calling a scheme to the middle linebacker). In a properly timed game, it’s very hard to say much else, and in an improperly timed game saying much else is counterproductive to the team being focused.

We wrote about the 'whys' of the above in our book (https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Marie_and_Florian_Gailliegue_Ultimate_in_motion?id=bjcYEAAAQBAJ). Glad to know we are not alone in this mess :) Keep on the good work
