Anytime an officials pulls out an air gauge and checks the footballs, then marks them like they are his golf balls, you know you are in for a long night. I am sure he is carrying a tape measure for the Quarter change as well.

Never seen any of these used ever in a HS game.

I honestly think you make this stuff up.

Say something about a kid having a back plate or cantilever sticking out and you get the ol' "who really cares, Coach?"
Yes, there's a reason. If we let them use such a ball, you'd be on here b!tch!n' about it.

And no, I don't allow players to play with that stupid back flap uncovered.

BTW, I've never had a coach request one be covered.
