More than likely we'll just see better 'coaching' for players on how to go down surreptitiously, so sideline personnel can be 'clean'.

Surprised this made the training tape, as did the Oklahoma hideout play.

In virtually every video, Shaw concludes by reminding officials to "use your winning words." Well, Steve, I for one, will be happy to work harder at using winning words when coaches are held accountable for their conscious and deliberate efforts to cheat. When will that happen?

In my book, 'I'm marching off 15 against your team, Coach' counts as winning words

Likewise. Unsurprisingly, however, neither made the media video. And it makes no sense to me why Shaw puts easy plays in those videos and refuses to address the plays that everyone wants to know about, even if officiated incorrectly. What could he say in the media video about the hideout play that is so bad that the public can't hear it?

Either be transparent or don't, but half-a**ing it by refusing to clip the plays people really care about makes little sense.
