Graves County has utilized this technology this year & seem to be happy with it!

the real question is, Are there enough kids on the roster that you can platoon and sit the kids down on the sideline to use the technology/show them during the game? If a team does not have enough kids to platoon, it really doesn't matter what the coaches see using the technology if they don't have a chance to show the kids.

I can see it maybe being useful at halftime, but I am not so sure in the middle of game action. Maybe if a school were strictly two-platoon, but still not so sure.

If you have MANY kids going both ways, I can see what you're saying, but in the BG vs St X game when the BG Offense was on the field, the BG Defense was over looking at the video board. St X had just come down the field and ran a TD in. On that particular drive, BG was hurt most IMO by the QB fake optioning the ball and taking off running for himself. After that series, the QB didn't have anywhere near the success he had on that drive. I think it does matter.

It's not just for the players to view. It's a great tool for coaches to use to identify what's going on quickly, and make adjustments on the fly. Relying on player information isn't often very accurate.

So do these teams that utilize this have a coach or two that specifically handle this?

I can imagine that it takes extra time and effort to pick out plays to review.

One of our coaches in the press box tags the plays Off/Def/Special teams. It literally takes 2 seconds. The feed runs off the end zone and press box camera which are already being staffed. We have not added anyone to do this. It's really simple and I think people are thinking this is a lot more complicated then it is. Hudl did a great job making this plug and play. Offenses and Defensive coordinators can easily go back and look at a whole series or an individual play depending on what they want to look at.

It also has a feature where you can "FLAG" a play. Like a big play or score

There was a rule against use of still photos during games. Can not seem to find off hand right now. But the NFL-like capturing of formations and faxing down to the field may still be prohibited.

 

Found the answer. (Which others probably knew.)
