That's the head coaches frigging job. He is to make sure:
- whoever is calling the damn plays/player packages to get them in AS THE PREVIOUS PLAY ENDS and he knows down and distance
- the play caller can not take 5 seconds and think "hmmmm who do I have in...what should I do now"
- the team should know basic flipping time management skills (like the guys from better schools (CAL, Stanford) seem to know
- go out of bounds when you need more clock
- stay in bounds when you are running clock (duh)
- don't waste time outs in the first and third quarters when its 3rd and 12 and your running out of play clock time. Take the delay and lick your wounds
- when time is a premium (in the 2 minute drill) dont take 20 seconds getting everyone in position...spike the friggin ball and get organized. Old ways are actually sometimes the best ways.
Sorry this is a sore spot with me. The speed of play calling and substitution was much better in the Washington game however.
I will do it for nothing if you give me 15 minutes with the team and coaches...this isnt rocket science
