@HighSchoolOT Not sure why testing the water on an experimental basis would be declined. It will only benefit the association for viability in the future with data.
How does the table, coach and officials not know the timeout situation under a minute in a close game at State? That timeout should have been avoided when none were available. Tough to assess a Technical Foul with <10 seconds left in a 2 point game.
@langstonwertzjr I think schools, teams, and officials will see a shot clock actually helps the game. Officiating in a State previously that used a shot clock, I heard all the same reasons of hesitancy, but once it went live it went smooth.
@CorsonCole Yes! So required to attend I believe 7 sessions that go over rules and new rules etc. Then 4 scrimmages are required prior to getting assigned varsity. They are led by head referees that provide feedback for the pod of officials.
@CorsonCole Seeing things both in Iowa and NC. I can appreciate the differences in associations. From an officials perspective, I love how assignors work each region and how games and postseason are handled. Also a lot more education/training required.
@CorsonCole Here in North Carolina itโs a NCAA tournament style post season. Top 64 teams in each class, lower seed hosts and final four in Raleigh. (Should be Charlotte at the Spectrum Center)
@ShootItacademy No pressing
No zone defense
Donโt keep score
No steals at all (require hands off defense)
Require everyone gets a touch in halfcourt set (skill build)
^all until 7th grade
Iowa just doesnโt play a style of football that is relevant for a team to make a playoff. Unfortunately, theyโll continue to be blown out by any top 10 team
Iowa just canโt play this way and hope to win. Youโve never beaten Ohio State by being conservative. Unfortunately too talented. Just grinding out a double digit loss is what Iowa is doing
