As Bob M. mentioned we do 5 here for varsity in NJ. It's really unfortunate because I have a friend who just attended a college clinic this week and he had the opportunity to work in a 7-man crew with NFL and College officials giving him a critique. For those of us looking to move on to the college ranks it would be of great benefit to work in 6-man crews. The gentelman who got to work these scrimmages said most of the critiques were that "high school officials move TO MUCH" and it's a habit that's easy to get into because with 5-man you have to move that much more to ensure proper coverage.
I'd be willing to have the 5-man pay cut 6 ways but I know it wouldn't be a welcome suggestion by some people.
I would imagine a high school official who's used to working a 6-man crew have an advantage over someone whose only done 5-man when working scrimmages for the scouts. Would you college guys tend to agree with that? Is it all that different?
