IR in Texas High School Football?

[Etref]

I found this on another board.



The UIL Athletic Committee approved a staff study on the matter, football, basketball, baseball, and any televised sports where replay is available.

“The National Federation has rules to do this,” UIL executive director Charles Breithaupt said. “I believe this is a good idea and something that work well for us.”

The Athletic Committee will take the recommendation of a staff study to the full Legislative Council Monday for approval.

Since Texas HS plays NCAA rules and NCAA already has a completer IR review process, why does the good Dr. choose to cite NFHS as an example?  Get ready guys he is going to deliver Texas HS to NFHS, mark my words.

[Welpe]

There is an allowance in NFHS Basketball Rules for states to adopt instant replay for their State Championships if they desire.  Not sure how this translates to all of the other sports though.

Imagine the feather in his cap if Dr B could make Texas the 1st state in the country to use IR for football.  Never mind we may be one of the last to get on board with a good concussion policy but by golly we will be the first to use IR for football. 

Oh, and for Ornery and his buds in El Paso and elsewhere who are seeing visions of working the state championships at Jerry World, think about this....if they implement this, do you seriously think they are going to trust us lowly little HS officials who have never worked games using IR to work those games?  Heck no.  They are going to get those college guys who have been working it to come in and do it.  Who cares if you routinely travelled 200 - 400 miles round trip to do 7th and 8th grade games for them.   You will be deemed "unprepared' when it comes to The Big Show.

Before they even think about IR they should require 7 man crews at some point in the playoffs. They want extra eyes via a TV camera, but no extra men on the field?  Does not make sense, but we all know who we are dealing with.

Totally awesome! They don't have adequate money to pay the officials what they're worth but they can find the resources  for instant replay! It's all too apparent that the folks over on Manor Road have been drinking way too much of their own Kool-Aid!  Can everybody spell the word "Federation?"

They'll be going door to door for the pool of replay officials.  Applicants familiar with TIVO remote controls will be highly encouraged to apply.

Timmons has a few cronies...he will make them "supervisors" with his sovereign stick and nobody will notice until the stuff hits the fan!

And I would greatly suspect that Ornery1, no doubt, will be the  Dancing Monkey's first choice for the role of UIL Replay Supervisor! But then again, I would guess that the UIL doesn't exactly set its standards very high for things of that magnitude! Case in point: the hiring of Timmons as Director of Officials!
