That's who the coaches want to see. There were several crews that struggled to correctly apply continuous motion to plays during the girl's state tournament, so it isn't just limited to these few clips/games.

Is Iowa a state where coaches' ratings determine who make the state tournament?

I learned:

I can't call three seconds in the lane during a throw-in. :P

Knowing who to listen to for advice and who to ignore.

Many refs can make the right calls and use the right mechanics, but understanding advantage/disadvantage, game management, and how to deal with coaches and players is what separates a good ref from a great ref.

Video is a great learning tool.
