This has to be the longest post in the history of this forum!
I can see where the A-11 at first impression would drive a coach and his team crazy. While as officials we know players are ineligible by position a high school LB or DB may be confused the first time they see the A-11. You can only imagine the ruckus on the sideline in that first game.
But once a video is available and a coach has a chance ot school his players it would easy to defend against the A-11.
Maybe I missed it but somewhere in the post there was a discussion of the number of officials. From the video it appears the Piedmont games have only four officials. This would make an excellent case for the fifth official who could easily ID the players who are ineligible by position and not number.
