What the coach saw
Your hand leans toward Consecutive Numbers (4 in a row in dots). Second option: Even Numbers (2·4·6·8).
A 4-tile run in dots is a real spine, protect it.
Scattered hands are normal before the Charleston, pass boldly and re-read.
The strongest category here is Consecutive Numbers (4 in a row in dots). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Even Numbers (2·4·6·8).
Keep and pass
Build around: 2 Dot, 4 Dot, 3 Dot, 5 Dot, 4 Crak.
In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:
Green Dragon: an unpaired Green Dragon, and your direction is Consecutive Numbers
South: an unpaired South, and your direction is Consecutive Numbers
West: an unpaired West, and your direction is Consecutive Numbers
