There But For The Grace Of God, Go I ...

Last season IAABO International taped our state semifinals and finals to create an educational video for all 16,000 IAABO members to observe. Most of the plays were bad calls, or bad no calls.

Our interpreter chose to show us some of the plays at our local meeting, with our local guys in the videos. It was uncomfortable for many of us to watch the videos knowing that these are our best local guys and that the 95% plus of the calls, and no calls, that they made correctly weren't shown on the videos.

And, of course, there were probably a few guys who were thinking, "I should of been in that game, I definitely wouldn't have screwed up those calls".

There's educational value in videos like this but it's tough to see when you know how good these guys actually are.

There but for the grace of God, go I.
