I worked a JH game this year and was the head linesman for this game. The chain crew has worked together for about 15 years so I didn't forsee any big problems. Well they didn't seem to want to use a chain clip. I told them we needed the clip on but they ignored me. I told my whitehat and he had to come tell them he wanted it clipped. They argued, saying that it was not an NFL game. We insisted that we wanted it so if the chains were dropped we would have an accurate mark. That's only fair to the coaches and the players. These guys moaned the entire game about having to move the clip. We also talked to the AD during halftime about it.
Are there any secrets anyone has to get the chain crew to take you serious? It is my understanding that the whitehat is in charge of the officials, the chain crew and the scorekeeper.
