"Cheaters Never Win"

[breynolds]

Not sure if anyone else who has replied is from GA or not. I am (although a different part of the state so I'm not familiar with the crew or the schools). This definitely a 6 man crew which is what we work for most varsity games.

I agree with Bob M. It looks to me like the sneak entered behind the FJ. The BJ (what GA calls the other deep official even though he works the sideline not the middle like in a 5 or 7 man crew) COULD have seen this from the opposite side of the field but might not have since his initial key is the widest man on his side of the formation.

I think the FJ should have realized something funny was going on when the QB threw deep down his side even though all 3 receivers on his side broke their patterns off short. Still, not an easy foul to catch. To be honest I don't know that I would have caught it either. Shame on the coaching staff for trying it.

I wonder if Effingham sent this to the GHSA and what they might do about it. It definitely deserves a penalty stronger than the 15 yards we would have hit them with. Everyone else hit the nail on the head. This guy is teaching his kids that its OK to cheat. I think more coaches need to live by the Coaches Code of Ethics. I wonder if this guy evens knows that such a thing exists.
