We ask, we get.
Had a coach this year send both an EZ view and the sideline view (digital!!) to show us the numerous illegal blocks we missed. Went frame by frame in both views and saw one. Guess that block was worth the 22-point margin of defeat. Have had coaches refuse until season over so we don't share their secrets with other teams. Why are football coaches so paranoid.

The very first association I was a part of did have film of every game worked by the 4 crews we had, and we did review them at least bi-weekly. We took a camera man with us and our own video equipment, and with a little training actually got great officiating films. Sons and fathers of crewmates make good cameramen. And that was the best association I have ever been a part of.

THAT would be righteous.
I have a 14-year-old, maybe I can train him.

In my bag I keep at least one blank recordable DVD within a self addressed padded envelope. If I see someone recording the game, on the field or up in the press box, I will ask them if they will burn a copy for me. It costs me about $2 per for the DVD, package and postage.
It's that simple. This year I was able to hand out 4 DVD's. All but one of them was useful since the guy kept stopping and starting the camera.

We also tried to get tape of the games from the coaches - usually didn't get anything, and when we did it was snap to end of play, almost always focusing exclusively on where the ball was.
My association started seding someone to tape some games - and basically tape 5/6 plays focusing on one offical, than on another. Not really so much on the play on the field, as the movements and mecahnics of the officials. I haven't seen very much of the result yet - it will be used this winter in our training, and to produce some training tapes for the new guys. I love looking at tape of myself - I can always find things I would have liked to have changed or done better... James

I have been able to get DVDs/VHS from a couple of schools just by asking the AD and explaining that it would be a useful training tool for our association.
I've put a couple of the clips on YouTube. If I can get my video capture card to work again, I'll do some more.
