Listening (or in this chat room case - reading) is a skill...

Here are the first four responses to his request. They all appear to give some form of advice! You need to be able to do more than read...you need to comprehend what you are reading.

I have tried going no lanyard but I'm much more comfortable with one. And the VHSL has said it's mandatory for high school games in VA.
But if it's not an issue with the powers that be in your area, I wouldn't spend a single second worrying about what one coach had to say.
