It's due to a lack of basic communication fundamentals. I would say more than 50% of my pregame touches on communication. I can't tell other officials how to officiate, but I sure as hell can set the tone for how we are going to communicate as crew.

Nice to hear that you think that pregames are important, and that you actually do them. They have become less frequent around here lately, and are even becoming less stylish in our varsity games.

It bothers me when I'm not the crew chief and we have a young U2 and the R doesn't think it's important to have a pregame.

It also bothers me when crew chiefs don't send out game confirmation texts/emails to the crew.
