Wow, gutsy call. I feel a "Coach, I'm sorry. I should have held my whistle and let the play develop." Let him vent a <b>little</b> and resume the game.

My recommendation would be that if you have a good relationship with a coach, feel free to ask for comments. If it's the first game you've worked for a school, don't even worry about asking for an...

It's a good idea to cover with the coaches before the game. Just a simple "Coach, on timeouts let us know if you want a full or 30" when you introduce yourself. My rule of thumb is to ask 3 times. ...

After extensive searching for a pregame card, the one Ron Pilo has posted is by far the best I've seen so far.
