One last thing I just remembered from camp. We had a discussion several months ago about mechanics and how college mechanics sneak into HS games. And somebody even said that they use their HS games as "practice" for their college games. One of the side issues that came up was about stopping the clock in college games. Should the official stop the clock on OOB calls or simply indicate direction (pro-style)?
Well, while I was at camp, I asked both Mickey Crowley and Edgar Cartatto about it and both of them said that the official
should stop the clock before indicating direction. And that's for
college ball.
So if you want to work D1, at least in the Northeast part of the country, don't let the pro mechanics slip into your game. Just passing along the info.
BTW, this is post number
1,000
for me!
