REPLY: snake-eyes...we used the technique with the U under the post for about two seasons until our state association told us to "cease and desist." They felt that positioning the U under the post could compromise the protection offered to the snapper. We don't necessarily agree, but that's what we've been told. And, since going to five men, we've never experimented with the R calling one of the uprights. Because of the distance away, I would think he'd have a tough time on close ones determining whether the ball was inside or outside the upright at the moment it passed over the crossbar. So we go "traditional" with the L and B under the uprights, and scramble like heck when there's a fake or a busted play to the L's sideline.

That's no good about the U being under the post, I do agree about the R calling kicks above the uprights though, it's really a tough call.
