So you wanna bust my chops for doing a little gratuitous recruiting??
Wish more of our officiating brethren would exercise the same degree of inquisitiveness...

Inquisitive?? What's the big mystery? Not knowing the player control signal to me is like saying, "Well, I guess the one ref thought we'd scored a touchdown because he had both arms raised over his head"

Yes, you are correct. I should know it is hard to find coaches at that level in some places. First they look within the ranks of teachers at that school and sometimes end up with an eager (it seems in this case) if not experienced candidate. Hat's off to him or her for undertaking the challenge. Just keeping that age group behaving on a half hour bus ride across town is as big a deal as getting them in the right defense. I wasn't knocking your recruitment and should understand he's prob new to the sport. Just thought that knowing/seeing a player control signal was fairly basic and universal. Perhaps he's also coming along at a time when the hand behind the head is on the way out and he's had other games where a PC has been called and he's not seen this.
