OK, what am I missing?

What do we need a signer for during a live ball?

There are only a limited number of set plays, isn't it possible for the coach to figure out a way to communicate while the ball is live? And teach that to the rest of his student athletes?

btw...I've worked 1 game with a deaf player, and 1 game with a player who understood virtually zero English. In both cases the coach, the assistants and all the players figured out a way to tell me before the game that the player in question was challenged and I shouldn't think he's ignoring me.
