Thanks for this. I feel like this gives your partner an opportunity to provide a justification and/or it calls a player off the wall. "I'm here to pick up my .... Son."
I love this strategy and try it often, but sometimes all it does is leave room for my scene partner to run his or her “ball control offense” conversationally. It’s great that a coach noticed this and offered it up, but is there a good way way introduce it organically while letting others know what you’re going for?
Agree! And silences make for way better interviews, too!
However, I watched that baseball clip four times and yeah that part's a you thing.
p.s. It is harder to work in silence as a woman.
People think you're done talking when you are not done talking.
This happens a lot, at least in academia and journalism. (And is talked about a lot in those environments.)
Not sure if it applies to improv, though.
Something to watch for, I guess.
I am done talking.

Brandon Hensgens in New York (and sometimes San Diego) teaches a fantastic workshop on this.
