"I have heard of teams sending people to the other team's practice to film their practice during the week. Both of these should result in someone losing their job. Because that is outright cheating." Airraider? We had this occur last year, frequently. At the youth level, is this still considered cheating (another team filming your practices?) It's a public field, how do you stop this from occurring or even prove it? If I can keep them from doing it this year, we might have half a chance. I'm with airraider. It should be brought up in league preseason meetings and you should propose that the league ban it.

Fine, you get the signal stolen, but if you pick up that they're running a Post/Smash/Drag how do you relate it to the team. Sure, you can make a better call, but it's like we've all said before. . .JIMMIES AND JOES.

Speaking from experience in having your signals stolen... I think it is part of the game... and it makes you as a coach evolve and find new ways to relay the info to your kids...
Now the ? is .... If the defanse knows your signal and lets say the play was option right...(defensive coordinator or yelling out the play and direction everything) the adjustment by the defense was to load the box and be ready for the option...mean while the Qb notices to many in the box so he checks the play with WR's and OL to pass play.... Set Hut... oops...pass TD So does the defensive coach still yell out the play and where it is going?

We were a no-huddle team a couple of years back. Basically when we went to clinics to talk we would give out our play calling system to them. We had college kids that played for us come back and we would laugh about how other students in their dorm thought they knew what we were doing. The bottom line is we were excited to play the 2 or 3 teams we knew spent their week trying to teach their kids to intercept our signs and calls instead of taking time to make sure they lined up right etc.
I can honestly say I have only used an opponents signs once and it was by accident. I was sitting in the booth watching their d-coordinator send in their personnel packages and about the 2nd quarter realized that 2 fingers meant cover 2, 3 fingers meant cover 3. That was too easy to not use.
I guess I am lucky where I am at. I can not see a signle coach in our conference ever trying to watch a practice, film signals, and some of the other things mentioned here.
