I was U2 in a JV game recently where the R basically expressed this philosophy to the coaches. "If you're coaching, we probably aren't going to notice you." I was annoyed, but was boxed in. This is a guy who was only doing JV because in CO you have to do at least 2 JV games to be eligible for the playoffs; he let me know as much in pregame.
At half time, he mentioned that to the varsity guys that were following us; and I was happy to see they were as annoyed as I was.
