I KNOW, with near certainty, that we will not get an answer from you. You dodge and dodge, because you, sir, are simply wrong. Your posturing and attacking doesn't change that.

It was the premise the question was answered on my behalf. That might not be important to you, but that is important to me.

I include myself in that group. Defending a clearly wrong position, and refusing to admit you simply made a mistake way back 3 pages ago have cost you a lot of credibility.

Well we all have an ego. If you had the right ego in my opinion, you would accept your take on this and move on. But for some reason you want me to verify what you already think. And yes I have an ego, this is why I have done the things I have done and for the period of time I have. Of course I have an ego and I am going to do what I feel is best based on my training and experience. You even claimed you have no experience at the NF level, but my ego is at issue? Maybe if you had your ego in check you would accept that I have done this longer than you have and do what works.

I did not say my opinion is all that matters. I did not even try to keep score as to who agreed with me or not. I said I told you what "I" am going to do. You do what works for you. If you want to throw 80 bean bags for every touch that is your right. But I find it odd that most people here have always advocated only having a couple of bean bags (even in a recent conversation) and all of a sudden 4 bean bags are to come out for each first touching spot. Based on what "everyone" has said here before, that would not work as they would lose one of the spots if that was an expectation.

I love how you change the discussion from what I said about the hat. I said "we" (meaning our mechanics and philosophy in the area I live and certainly on my crew) stopped using the hat for stuff long time ago. And certainly throw a hat not for a spot of all things. Even if we have a player that goes out of bounds, we do not use the hat for that either. And since you are so worried about coaches, I have never had a coach argue with me or anyone about a first touching spot and a dead ball spot. NEVER!!!! Now that is in 15 years of varsity football and multiple playoff opportunities when they really get heated about stuff. I have heard a lot of complaints, but never an issue with where a spot is marked for first touching. And like I said before, the dead ball spot and the first touching spot is often very obvious from each other. I do not worry about the boogie man that is under the bed because someone on an internet site thinks I should worry about those things. This is not my first rodeo.
Peace
