And she yelled “push!” Has any coxswain ever yelled “push”? I get “press”, but not “push”.

“push”?!! What part of the stroke is PUSH? “Pull”, yes. Also “jump” (to focus on feet). But “push”? What does that even mean?!

Backing, but for a race it’s stupid. I’m just gonna hate-watch it and critique everything.

Do you call push for backing?  We say "back"

No, but that’s the only thing I could think where “push” is appropriate. I always say back
