If only....
In the midst of this pretty sad story, I was intrigued by this:

I fully realize that no state has the resources to make that happen, nor do we probably have the time to take in all that feedback. I was just thinking, "Man, we would be so much better prepared and effective if we had just 1/10th of that."

Yup-we beg coaches for film or a DVD. Few are cooperative, some are indifferent, and there are those that think we want to analyze something they might be doing illegally and flat out refuse.
I quit bringing blank VHS tapes and mailers years ago because they didn't come back. I've mentioned writing something into our next contracts with the schools. Several heads nod but nothing beyond that. Like everything else here, it wouldn't happen unless the state mandated it. |

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.
