Bean Bag discussion on Kicks

I made a belt out of beanbags. That way, I can just grab one of the 12 beanbags when I need it. Unfortunately, then the others fall off onto the ground and my pants fall down.

It's a work in progress.

I prefer to referee and let the back judges determine what article of clothing needs to be dispersed where.

If he muffs it, I like my BJ to always give a tipped signal. If others see it and realise it is a free ball then that's great, but IMHO that isn't the main reason for doing it. Giving the signal helps program the BJ's own mind that K can now recover the ball.
A real bonus for me as the official on the sideline (or White Hat if a coach's conference ensues) is that it helps me sell the call and makes for quite short conversations with a coach.

Coach: "He never touched it!"
Official (demonstrating S11): "Coach, did you see the covering official give this signal?"
Coach: "Yes."
Official: "Then he touched it. Anything else I can help you with?"

Me too!!

It's like those candy necklaces the kids get, you break off one as you need it. Kind of like a Pez dispenser with elastic.

Good stuff. Thanks for the laugh.

Soon to be off for my 2 hour drive to West DePere for tonight's game. If you remember, Rich, I live in West Bend. I don't know why we agree to these games....yikes. Best part is...we have one in Door County in 3 weeks...and one of the guys comes from Oak Creek!!

Y'all have inspired me to fashion a bandoleer of flags to wear ala Pancho Villa. Maybe I'll make a second for bean bags.

Sorry guys just having a little fun after an ugly game tonight.
