Question for the R's out there.
When the clock will start on the snap, do you give the wind signal immediately once the ball is snap.
I usually do that in sub-varsity because the clock operators aren't too good. But should this be done in varsity games? |

I know mechanically i try to every time but would guess that during some instances throughout the course of a game i forget.
Other times i think i forget and my wing guys say i do. I guess you do it out of habit. To me if i forget it is not the end of the world as long as you have a competent clock guy and a good pregame with them.

Yes, we wind the clock with the appropriate signal when the ball is snapped.

I have only ever wound the clock on the snap once. Well it was about 30 seconds after the snap after the running back was downed 5 yards downfield in bounds and the clock had still not started when I checked the clock and was about to blow 2nd down ready.

I don't do it. I have more important things to be worrying about. It is the clock operator's job to handle this. If he isn't watching the snap, he likely won't be watching me either...

Have you had a situation where the clock operator is watching the game and not paying attention to running the clock?
![]() We have a small town here in NW Oklahoma where we have this problem constantly. Every crew that calls out there has had problems with this clock operator, but the school will not do anything to rectify the situation. ![]() It does look kind of funny tho when your WH is out on the middle of the field doing a windmill with both arms trying to get the clock operator to do his job. Looks bad on the officials, but it is still humorous to watch him do the double windmill trying to start the clock. ![]() |
