So, for the first time since I've been an adult (no, wait, I think I did once in my 20s) -- and that's a long time -- I volunteered for the down box today at our 18-and-unders game. The chain was handled by one pair in the 1st half, another in the 3rd Q, and a mom & child in the 4th.
My one complaint as a down box handler is lack of a definite spot by the wing. I want a clear tap on the calf, rather than just ambling backward toward the sideline. If you want to give me a mark and then change it, that's fine, just reset yourself and tap the calf again. We had a poorly lined field that may have resulted in the wing's being noncommittal about the spot.
Also, I'm holding that mark until you give me a definite signal to move. Yes, I can see that we're moving way down there, but I don't think it's my place to act on that until you wave me off the old mark.
