Rules. How many of you spend time learning the rules and rules changes and spend classroom time teaching the players the rules, and how officials call games. I think everyone should spend a few hours a week in the offseason having an official come in and teach the rules and interpretations to your players.

We always go through rules with our players. I especially like to point out differences between the HS, College, and Pro game. We will spend time during film and on the practice field to show and explain what is and isn't legal.
Unfortunately, there are games I think our players know the rules better than the crew officiating the game.

We cover the points of emphasis and differences in federation/ncaa/nfl rules the first day of practice and in all situations when they come up in practice throughout the season. We also cover all special team situation rules (touching, live ball, blocked kick, etc.) on Thursday run-thru practice and Friday walk-thrus...

Have had referees that worked our scrimmage game or intra-squad game address the team afterwards. Would bring up observations they saw during the game, etc. Its easier done in our area, all of the coaches and referees know each for the most part already...

My favorite memory of a terrible season was when I knew the new guy hired as HC was going to drive me insane. First game of the season and he argued with the ref about an intentional grounding call that shouldn't have been because "the QB threw it out of bounds after he was out of the Tackle box." Also said the opposing team got a cheap TD because he "didn't get both his feet in." Then on one of the last plays to get us into FG range in the last seconds, he told the receiver to run a forty yard fade and "pretend to get hit so that we get a PI and play at the spot of the penalty." I was a negative guy on staff for explaining to him that the rules don't work like that in HS. Rules are extremely important. By the way, we didn't get into FG range. We lost 40-0.

I just got sent a list of proposed rules changes, I will go over those with the players.
Lack of consistency in enforcement is an issue however but I'd rather be on the right side of the flag than tempt fate!

Rule number one when coaching/teaching the game of football: Assume the kids know nothing about the game. |

Gee and haw are voice commands used to tell a draft animal to turn right or left, or to direct sled dogs pulling a sled or sleigh.[1][2] Gee (pronounced "jee") means to turn to the off side (away from the driver). Haw means to turn to the near side (towards the driver).
In the United States, the driver of draft animals sits on their left, so animals will turn right to the gee command, and left to the haw command. In England the driver stands to the right of the animals, reversing the relative directions they indicate (i.e., an English trained team of horses will "haw" to the right, while an American trained team will "haw" to the left — in both cases towards their driver.) As James Lloyd Clark points out, "Generally, work horses are not subject to a lot of international travel so the fear of great confusion on the farm is minimal."[3]
The American meanings are used for dog sledding in Alaska and Canada.
