I agree with you Theisey...we kinda have to go by what the manual says except when someone in a position of authority says to do something else. At this point I'm trying to get the NFHS mechanics down, although I have hopes of needing to learn NCAA rules and mechanics if I am fortunate enough to make it that far.

I don't want to concern myself with giving two or three different signals on a given play when the incomplete or touchdown signal should automatically stop the clock. I don't recall having meetings with the clock operators before the games, but I sure would like to have that opportunity to instruct them just as I would my chain crew. In a way it gives them an opportunity to ask questions but I think more importantly it makes them feel important and a part of the "team".
