One for the player, one for the coach.

I have a white ball flag and my old trusty 2nd flag in the front right pocket. Last year in a JV game we had a 3 man crew and had 5 flags on one play. That remains our record for FPO (flags per official) on one play, 1.67.

As long as we are on flags, my hard and fast rule with my crew is NO flags showing! I think it looks very unprofessional to have a flag showing. A flag hanging out of a pocket always reminds me of a mechanic with a grease rag hanging out. At the first state final that I worked, the state supervisor said, "I don't want to see any flags out there today." It took me a moment to figure out what he meant.
