High School Football Issues

[isufbcurt]

I just saw this article on yahoo and it referenced Indianola vs Hoover

https://www.yahoo.com/news/poor-schools-cant-compete-richer-120227608.html

In the first paragraph of the article it says "An hour before kickoff at a game this month at Hoover High School, the opposing football team, Indianola High, pulled up and unloaded the large video monitor that would let its coaching staff analyze plays, moment by moment, throughout the game."

Is this real life? How is a high school team allowed to have equipment on the side lines to watch real time game film? You can't even do this in the college game!!!

And who would get a cheap city like Indianola to pay for that?

Local HS has IPads for this. Class A. Kinda over board imo. (Honestly way overboard to me but I’m trying to be nice)

I don't really pay attention to High School football so I didn't know that. But imo High School Football (or any other sports) don't need this crap. Like I said you can't even have that stuff on a college sidelines.

Who cares if they are reviewing tape?

It's during the game. This high school game doesn't need to be that advanced.

What good would this do for Class A? Most of those kids would be playing both sides of the ball and not have an off series to even analyze the data.

Coaches can use it to enhance their play calling.

I'd be shocked if it isn't more being used to try and steal play calls.

WHen the school has 10-12 coaches, there are coaches that can try to look at it. Many times it’s coaches that are still in HS mentally and the win is more important to them then the players

We were considering building a courthouse in Warren County, but we spent the money on the video equipment to ensure Indianola's football team can finish 5-4 again...

Unacceptable!

So don't do what you can to improve your team? Settle down grandpa.

It's funny how they present Indianola as an affluent football powerhouse.

I don't hate it as a teaching aide. I had plenty of teammates at that level that would blank stare at the coach with some of the terminology. Helps sometimes to just see something visually from a different perspective. Just not understanding how much time they'd have in HS without TV timeouts and all of the pauses in action.

grandpa lol

I'm all about technology, but it's high school football and I think it's over kill. And as I stated numerous times college teams aren't even allowed to do this.

Sounds like they are reviewing plays not strangling kittens.

This would be a cool project for the A/V club if that who handles it.

I'd be shocked if a significant percentage of high school coaches had the analytical skills to utilize this type of system.

We live is a world where there is a crap ton of data available to everyone and lots of people jump on board buying gadgets to "utilize" that data, but very little of it is utilized.
