Our association recently changed from 4 man to 5 man mechanics, although my question would be equally valid for 4 man crews.
One thing I've noticed in making the change, is that we tend to forget the 5th man (BJ) is back there. When working BJ, I've found it difficult to engage my wing guys to communicate when I'm giving up the goal line, etc. As a wing, I sometimes forget about the lonely BJ. This is just one example of on-field communications that could improve.
Assuming a comprehensive pregame includes how we plan to communicate with one another, what are some tips that you have found valuable in improving communication on the field with your fellow officials?
This may include crossfield mechanics for wings, penalty enforcement for R & U, fouls or complete/incomplete on deep passing plays between officials, coverage on dead ball officiaing, and more.
Thanks.
