What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Odd Numbers (7 odd tiles). Second option: Winds & Dragons.

Scattered hands are normal before the Charleston, pass boldly and re-read.

The strongest category here is Odd Numbers (7 odd tiles). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Winds & Dragons.

Keep and pass

Build around: 3 Crak, 3 Dot, 5 Bam, 5 Crak, 7 Bam, 7 Dot, 9 Crak.

In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:

4 Bam: a loner, serves neither Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9) nor Winds & Dragons

6 Crak: a loner, serves neither Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9) nor Winds & Dragons

Green Dragon: an unpaired Green Dragon, it only backs your second option, Winds & Dragons, and your direction is Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)
