Rarely do I raise my hand on an oob play in a high school game. I usually just point the way we are going. And for those who say, "oh my!" get real! The game is changing get on the band wagon or get off. Because it will soon be changed in high school.
Well, usually doesn't apply here. I've never tried to get hired at the college level, so it's impossible for me to have been fired from the college level. Had I started officiating at an earlier age, it might have been something I would have pursued. At this stage in my life, I simply don't have time or the job for it.

As for the mechanic being changed at the HS level, if they change it, then it should be used. Until then, the required mechanics should be used. So, get on the band wagon or get off.
