Team Conferences

Our challenge was during injury timeouts, the coaches would send water out to the players wthout conferring with the officials. We need to discuss those things as a crew so we're more in sync with all that is happening on the field. I'd chase the water gremlins off the field and the other team has had their water people on the field as soon as the kid went down.

On hot nights, rather than chasing the "water gremlins" off, we call for them as soon as we take an offical's time out for an injured player. We also talk to them prior to the game just like we do with the ball bays and tell them to come on out whenever we take an offical's timeout for an injury even if we forget to call for them.

How do I handle that situation? Tell B that it is legal and that he can do it too.
