There's something about this coach. He's the only one that didn't take a moment to decipher what he saw. All the other coaches, stopped and did some thinking to figure what caused the problem
He just critiqued while the barbell was still on the lifter. He repeatedly moved here, there, and everywhere looking at different sections of the lifter
I found this really amusing and when I found out why he did that, it was actually pretty amazing. He was actually analysing the portions like the hamstring and calves in this case, or the torso and shoulders in another. He was looking around for the breakdown in the feeling
Like I said, these coaches and athletes work a lot into feeling. I know some older coaches that do this as well. They "feel" their lifters from how their lifters eyes look, the demeanour, the way they approach the bar
If its slightly different from their other successful attempt, they know something does not feel right
He explained that as coaches, when we begin coaching, we look at the hip, the legs, or a big muscle or joint or a pattern that we as former lifters "connect" to. However as he got older, he realised he couldn't get the correction just by looking at what he always looked at
He began moving his point of focus and albeit being uncomfortable at first, because he no longer had his old reference point, he found other answers. So he told me to look elsewhere, and you might find different solutions
But.. Of course to do this, you need to know how the lift feels and looks even as your lifter is doing it. Told you this coach was a ninja
EDIT: This comes with experience btw. You'll need time and experience with that lifter.

Over here, I posted a video of a 185KG snatcher at 94KG (probably 97KG off season weight), that does pulls with his hips raising first. I posed the question;
"While we hear a lot that raising the hips first is wrong, what differentiates his "hip raise" from the average hip raise?
It wasn't a right or wrong question, but rather a "Let's see how many WAYS we can look at this occurrence" question.
I asked the lifter, the head coach, the senior coach, and myself. I got 4 different answers;
-----------------
Lifter:
"I have a position that would allow me to second pull the most powerfully using my quads and back. I built my positioning and movement strength with pulls, to get to this position as efficiently and as quickly as possible. "
Head coach:
"This is the position that allows him to move without hitting his knees and slowing down the bar. His femur is also a bit longer, so it's a compromise that we build solutions around."
Senior coach:
"The body moves first and the bar moves as a result of the body's pattern. By moving this way, he's able to get his body into a powerful position, without hitting his knee on the way up, than if he were to pull perfectly straight where he'd end up sitting too much on his butt, and lean backwards too soon."
Me:
"He pushes his knees back so he doesn't scratch his shin and hit his knee. His hamstring and torso is engaged as he is strong enough to stay over the bar. This way his posterior chain, acts like a loaded gun. Added with his ankle and knee extension, he'll be ready to shoot the bar upwards."
------------------
You should checkout the Instagram link for all the awesome answers. I just like that this shows, people have more than 1 way of describing something. Often, the answers aren't really black and white. They're often, grey, yellow, green, pink, etc.
EDIT: This is also a very very personal one for me. For years, I used to pull butt up first and then second pull. For years, I was told this was wrong. Finally when I correct it (sort of), I go to China and I'm shown a different way of seeing things. Talk about merry go round. Now the cue "Use your legs" finally make sense.
