I have to admit, football seems to be way ahead of us on the issue of information sharing.
Granted our culture isn't going to change overnight, and in football, where the NFL officials to players ratio is 9:22 (ours is 6.6:22 in a three-man crew), more than one set of eyes is typically on the same matchup. But still, our culture is an obstinate one, isn't it?
