In the coaches' office today, the freshmen coach asked the varsity coach about head sets. the varsity HC said, "when I coached freshmen, we didn't use any of that. Do you need it? Who do you have to go up there?" Freshmen coach has five other coaches with him, rechargable head sets (so there aren't any issues with JV or Varsity staff) and a pressbox available.
It got me thinking, why wouldn't he want to take advantage of the situation? Or is it not worth it because of the level?

Unless it's against league or association rules, I'm all for the lower levels having available the resources the varsity has.
I really hate the attitude of those coaches who where once frosh/JV coaches and got crapped on, then in turn , when they get to be varsity HC, they treat the lower level coaches as they were treated.
I know if or when I become a Varsity HC, no way would my lower level coaches go though the crap we went though.

We've never used headsets in freshmen or jv, but I don't know why...

As far as freshman using headsets, we've never had enough staff to put a man in the booth. That and our headsets were so bad in the previous years it wasn't worth the effort to drag them with us, only to have to tinker with them for 20 minutes just to get them to work. |

another usual lower level problem is there is no high spot to view from. A head set on a guy next to you isn't much good.

Yeah, the other coaches use them and it does suck as we have to wait sometimes until 1/2time to get our adjustments. I'm working on some of the local boosters, but as I said we're in a pretty poor area so I'm not holding my breath.

How about those inexpensive walkie talkie phones. May look a little cheesy but couldnt they serve the purpose?

Use cell phones with a headset.

duece, just use walkie-talkies. We have a set of walkie-talkies with us in case the head sets malfunction. Only about $20.

That's a good idea. I never thought of using walkie-talkies. I may even get the school to go in on that one!
