Excellent article.
The biggest problem with sideline clean-up is the leverage the coaches have over officials. Having worked a number of years in NY (Long Island) the coaches boxes have expanded well onto the field. I did spend one season in northern California and it was amazing how the coaches did not try to enter the field.
There was one basic difference. In California the coaches did not rate the officials. In NY the coaches do.
Go figure!

Ed,
Thank you!
There are many different relationships that officials and coaches have at the high school level.
In some parts of the country the Home coach contacts the Crew Chief to hire his crew. I know a Crew Chief in Illinois that has games scheduled as far out as 2006. Maybe the Home coach hires the crew because they enforce the rules.
