Rule about Coaching with a Headset

The only thing i could think of is it might be a violation of where coaches are allowed to be in reference to the coaches box on the field and the sky box.

Maybe something about if you're an on the field coach you need to be in the coaches box, but idk I've never heard of it being an issue.

I don't believe you're allowed to have a coach in the endzone, even if he's working as the filmer. Might as well put a coach on the chain crew and let him stand on the opponents sideline too

How would this be appreciably different from having your EZ feed sent to instant replay in the box or on the sideline?

Just off the top of my head I thought that there was a rule about communication devices and sideline designation. I may be misinterpreting it or remembering it wrong, but I though that it was only between the 25s and the box.

Problem there becomes equity... my school has almost 75% of kids on free lunch. Fundraising for something like "sideline replay" isn't possible. We barely scrape by paying for our HUDL account without playbook or assist or any other features. Tons of schools around us with giant 60-inch TVs doing replay on their sidelines, when we have 18 kid dress for a game, you don't get to show your kids anything anyway. The 11 kids on O are the same 11 on D. 

I did have headsets on while I did endzone camera during a JV game this year... nobody complained. I was just telling my JV staff when we were misaligned and blown assignements.

I think you're right, although I was trying to suggest that a rule against the headset in the endzone might be illogical if you're already allowing instant replay.

I thought about putting it there but it didn’t seem like that section got much traffic.

About 15 years ago we had a parent working the chains. Apparently he got into a rather spirited discussion with a member of our opponents coaching staff. The officials made the chain crew change over to the home side, and the League passed a rule that from that point on, all chains were kept on the home team's sideline.

As far as headsets are concerned, I think that they are only allowed in the box. The coach has to remove them when goes out onto the field.

I agree.  I teach in a district with 100% free lunch.  Coach in the district next door which isn't much better.  We are a small football school and have the same numbers issues.  The one play off on a special team doesn't give much time to correct much.
 We have neither an end zone camera or sideline replay.  
Figured if you can afford an end zone cam chances are you can probably get sideline replay.  Point is there probably isn't much difference from having a guy on a head set with the end zone cam and getting a shot on an ipad on the sideline anyways.

Chain crew can't have communicating devices I'm pretty sure. Seen a ref tell a chain member that if he saw him with his phone out again messing with it, that he would be removed from the sideline.

I am not very loud usually, but one game we were in was a significant game and I yelled something into the head sets but the players must've heard it because our middle LB gave me a thumbs up and yelled "GOT IT COACH!" 

We were at a small school with no band. It was pretty funny. 

I still tell our kids if they are confused to give me the shrug look from the field and I will send down important information to the sideline coaches.
