Wrong thread. This is about instant replay...

 

Hard to see instant replay ever working in HS as a common denominator in all games. We don't need to be stopping play every few seconds in a HS game for crying out loud to consult the video.

 

Well, previous posts mentioned it and others gave their opinion on it as well if you hadn't noticed. Maybe you could call them out as well.

Not all games are being taped. Would it just be a "if you have the resources to do it" kind of thing?

 

Tape the last minute of each quarter. That wouldn't cost much to do.

And I do not think anyone else wants to stop every few seconds to look at video. The only thing that I have seen is shots in the final seconds and I suggested clock resets to make sure the clock is correct with time left in the game. Like the other sports that use it... not everything is reviewable. And for that matter not every game, only championship series games (district, regional, and state).

This is high school sports. It’s played by kids, officiated by people that have other professions, and it is suppose to be for fun for everyone, however we want to crucify people and "fire them" for mistakes in officiating, coaching, and other nonsense.

 

Let’s stop trying to make high school sports like colleges or the pros and actually let the kids enjoy it for what it is. There is no need for Replay.

I have been asked a time or two about a reasonable explanation about a way this could be achieved. A friend and I reasoned through this the other day.

 

1.) The teams within each district come together and buy a replay system.

This system would be used during district tournament only. Reason is that a lot of games played on same day or the system may become an extra toy instead of actually becoming useful.

 

2.) Each regional referring association is obligated to provide a replay system for each district game. This would mean that each association would have to buy no more than 5 systems per region(one for each separate district tournament). Also the home team of the tournament must provide a person to manage the system during games.

 

 

The system we were talking about is something as simple as a television hooked up to a camera that is specially placed(preferred from a high position) so that the entire court could be seen as any given time. Such as a wide view of the court. And that the system should have restrictions, such as; only be used in the last five minutes of each half, or last two minutes of each quarter.

There are ways that this could be done and done easy but imo it would take a combined effort to actually complete the process.

What are everyone's thought about these rough copy ideas?
