My (2-person) mechanics have become comfortable enough that I am able to pay more attention now to the game, and I've started noticing how coaches call these plays. I listen for the play calls throughout the game, so I can anticipate the play (never the call, tho!). One guy, who I heard reviewing the "strategic foul" in a last-minute-time-out, would say, "..wait...wait...wait...CODE RED!!! CODE RED!!!" It worked fine for helping the players know what to do. Too bad it let both teams know.
