I've read in numerous clinic articles about coaches' definitions of a LOAF. What do you use as your definition and what is the repercussion for a LOAF? Does the individual pay? Or does the whole team?

not 100% effort during a play.
If you watch film and a player isn't sprinting to the action.........its a loaf
WHOLE unit pays when one guy loafs (particularly if you have depth). There is a speed in which the game must be played and the kids have to be held to that standard because it isn't natural.
If a kid is loafing in a game....its the coach that really needs to pay because if a kid has more than 3 loafs in a game, that kid shouldn't be playing / starting
The challenge is when you have studs that are going to play and never really come out and, technically, they don't have to effort as hard on a play. You can't fire them, you depend on them to perform at "their level", but you have to hold them to a higher standard and leadership.

That sounds simple enough. Thanks, Brophy.

No 2nd Effort.
Not playing hard until the whistle.
As brophy intimated there are few reasons a player should not be in-on his way lickety-split to where the ball is at end of play.

May GOD help you, if I catch you walking on any play. I do not care if the ball is on the other side of the field. you better be hustling. OUr defensive coach has an 11 to the ball so you better be in the film frame when the play ends or the defense pays.

We have a loef (Lack Of EFfort) principle like many of you. On defense we want 11 guys with in 5 yards of the ball 90% of the time. Every 2 loefs we get on film gets a gasser the next available practice, and we have run as many as 13 gassers (26 loafs). The next week we had a lot less loefs. Offensively, a loef for us is any offensive player not executing their blocking assignment, running their route, carrying the ball, or carrying out a fake for 6 seconds. If I find offensive lineman running in space and not trying to engage its a loef, if a ball carrier doesn't sprint to carry out his fake for 10 yards its a loef, if receivers are dawdling down the field its a loef. We do the same thing for loefs on offense every 2 gets you a gasser. A good group of seniors will have that happen one time and they will not let it happen again. You cant always be bigger and better than your opponent but you can definitely out work them and out compete them, and that's what we want our guys doing.

Saw Mike Vraebel at the OHSFCA Clinic earlier this year. He defined a loaf as a "change in acceleration". Works pretty well.

If he speeds up, he wasn't going all out to begin with.
If he slows down......
