Where do you measure from without the clip? Do you guys just eyeball it or does somebody grab the chain at the intersection with the yardline do it that way?
It's just the way we came up in our association - you bought a clip (forgetting at least one and losing it before wising up and grabbing it before the end of the game)and used it. Never even considered doing a game without one. I would just say to the coaches 'no measurements today' if the chain crew declined to use one. If he had a problem with that, I'd invite him to discuss it with the chain crew.
