Post by: Birddog on November 07, 2011, 08:50:13 AM: The coach inadvertently bailed the crew out on that one.

I don't know for sure if this crew does, but if you routinely work much sub varsity with rookie and/or new officials you will certainly need to know how to handle all sorts of IW situations.

Looks like it was the L who tooted although I would not be surprised had it been the U

The EXACT question I have asked MANY U's over the years!!!

No no Mike. It was the B. I'll be enjoying a steak dinner from him too. eAt&

Post by: TXMike on November 07, 2011, 10:55:54 AM: A B would never do that. It was probably not a regular B but just some lesser position guy thrown in there.

Post by: ETXZebra on November 07, 2011, 01:20:26 PM: 36 years. It just goes to show that it can happen to anyone. I didn't know there was a lesser position than a B. B's are like condoms, there handy when you need them but most of the time they're just in the way. Have a great day Mike. LOL LOL

Post by: mccormicw on November 07, 2011, 01:31:55 PM: Cut the B's some slack. Without them, someone else would have to chase the balls after those long incomplete passes.

That's a pretty good one there , I don't care who you are. And to add to that comparison, when we fail, it usually means DISASTER!

Post by: ETXZebra on November 07, 2011, 02:01:59 PM: Agreed!! Big time disaster.

Post by: zebra99 on November 07, 2011, 02:42:59 PM: What about the R giving the coach an option? We former B's must unite!!!! FlAg1
Title: Re: Sometimes Better to Be Lucky Than Good (Video)
Post by: TXMike on November 07, 2011, 02:51:53 PM: My point EXACTLY!!! Sure the IW was bad, but it was not near as bad as the direction the R was going and would have went had it not been for the coach bailing him out.

Post by: ABoselli on November 07, 2011, 03:11:41 PM: I tell my B that he's like the trauma surgeon of the crew - we don't need him all the time, but when we do need him, we REALLY need him.
