What the coach saw
Your hand leans toward Odd Numbers (6 odd tiles).
1 joker, gold for pungs and kongs, but remember: jokers can never fill a pair, and you may not pass them in the Charleston.
The strongest category here is Odd Numbers (6 odd tiles). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Consecutive Numbers.
Keep and pass
Build around: 3 Bam, 5 Crak, 5 Dot, 1 Dot, 7 Bam, 9 Crak.
In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:
North: an unpaired North, and your direction is Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)
6 Crak: only backs your second option, Consecutive Numbers, the weakest of what's left
6 Dot: only backs your second option, Consecutive Numbers, the weakest of what's left
