Is It Time for Replays at the High School Level?

[sloth]

I've always been against instant replay. I espically hate the college application. I think it breaks up momentum in the game, I'd eliminate replay and finally get to the magical 3 hour game (which is happening in DIII now).

Look its a game, coaches and players make mistakes, so will officials. As long as those breaks go both ways I see no reason to over analize them.

One play clock? absolutely Bob, I also would not permit it's use with only one or if either of them conked out. My experience this year with three games at these two fields was that they (the teams) liked having the visible play clock.
Only one delay call and it wouldn't have matter as they were so messed up that even a 40 second clock would not have been long enough.

There is a community college up the road an hour from my location where I've worked NCAA games and they set out a pair of portable play clocks that I'm told are also used for basketball. Very visible from the field and wired up to the press box clock operator for control.

I'm not advocating mandating PCs but if you have them or can get them installed cheaply, such as these portable ones, I say use them.

I would love to have play clocks.

My philosophy is get as many snaps as possible in the game. I keep the 25 second clock fairly close and keep the offense informed therefore very few DOGs.

A play clock would be a great addition. I am tired of this part of the game being put only in the hands of the officials.

With school districts around here talking about dropping any support for sports due to the state of California's budget, I seriously doubt money being dropped on unnecessary play clocks.
