If it works for your crew, great.

Thats a good point. For 1 of Fridays games we had 5 game balls all the same type. And a ball "man" that was on his game. He had a ball waiting behind the goal post as soon as a TD was scored. That did help a lot.

No way, take too much time. As a HL, who goes to the R30, I write the score down, but R is the official scorer. 1 minute prior to the KO after the PA, get to your spots and get the clock going again.

How much time do you spend on the 5 yard line in your huddle?

I would just talk to the WH and get his point of view. Nah, don't rock the boat but heck, ask questions. Hopefully someone may listen and change it. They probably do it because someone did when they came up new.

I usually meet with the U while the rest are getting in position. Just for a few seconds to verify the score, get any impressions from him, etc. He's only got to get to the 20. Of course, the U and I are talking the entire game.

If everyone is meeting at the 5, who's with the teams to get them out of their huddles? One place where I fight delay is after a score. One minute and go, as this isn't the NFL.

I want the LJ and BJ up the field with their teams and want the L at the 30 with his chain crew. BJ is timing the minute on his ready ref.
