High School Football Issues

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.

Our high school team was ran like a D3 college. We would have used it extensively with the amount of adjustments we made between series. I still to this day go to small colleges and see the same drills and organization as was used at my school 15-20 years ago. Not all high school coaches are a joke, in fact most aren't.

During the past decade, Hoover High and Des Moines’ four other large public high schools have a cumulative record of 0-104 against rivals with more affluent student bodies from the Polk County suburbs,

That is absolutely insane, live video board or not. You'd think at some point, even just one school would fluke their way into a win somehow. There's clearly a problem at some level.

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

Well compared to Hoover..

Shocked that they could watch a TV?

A lot of teams use it. I've seen Fort Dodge use it this year, Ames uses it (not helping a whole lot) of the games I've seen. Didn't see Iowa City High using it (only had 29 players) or Marshalltown. Cedar Falls I could see across the UNI Dome to see if they did or not. Mostly showing the players what they are doing right or wrong.

I can't see how it could be utilized by a coach for play calling purposes.

If that monstrosity is set up anywhere near the field...I'm having one of the eligible-to-play JV players ram it over and destroy it. Oops.

Agreed. You'd think it was the Sabans and Swinneys of the world roaming the sidelines of Iowa high school football games. Most coaches probably have no use for equipment like this. It's a showy piece of tech that actually lends little benefit to the program.
