to me, half time adjustments are too late better get them done asap In a perfect world, yes. The problem we have in making adjustments during the first half is that we seldom can talk to the kids because we usually have 8-9 guys going both ways. |

When I was in that situation, I would get it to them on the run by having my coach on the field tell them.
Have to have a smart kid to do that though.
If it was a big enough deal, I would just sub someone in for the one guy I needed to tell, then get him back out there asap, either that or call a time out.

Both types of adjustments are probably equally important, grabbing a few guys to make instant adjustments so you don't get too far behind before the half and then a more organized adjust period at halftime, then probably still have to grab a few more guys the 2nd. half to keep things straight! That's a good summary Wildcat, about having the right team of coaches. I'd hope I would also have some quick thinkers helping me!

halftime is big
but just like los says you can't get too far behind over things you can fix

It's kind of strange that many states don't use NCAA rules - all of Europe and Australasia uses them, yet the country that invented the game uses a different version for it's kids.
Back on thread, I wouldn't say I was good at coaching either practice or gameday at the moment as I am still quite young and inexperienced. However this year I realised I would need to plan more as I was appointed OC. I make plans for my plans for my training plans. We only train twice a week, so I have plenty time to plan, just not enough time to teach - it's essential that I plan well to use the time well. I failed on that a couple times this year. I also find it difficult to keep track of time during training.
On gameday I am also still learning. I still play in a league during the summer which I think sometimes helps, sometimes hinders (being a player and a coach). I've always been one of those players who is very aware, looking for tendencies in an opponent, my opposite number.
I have done a lot of reading on game and clock management and tried hard to engrain rules of game/clock management into my brain so that I barely have to think about it on gameday.

And I do mean teach, as in from scratch to a bunch of guys who 3 months prior had never played football... First play after the half, 3 verticals, TD. |

that would be a poor example of game time coaching
you have to know what your kids can learn or do
whole new systems can't be put in in 30 minutes
a new play can, if it has enough parts of other plays

I consider myself more of a practice coach. I love to watch film and look for those little things. I know TOG won't like this, but the ol gives so much away. I will get excited and jump up and down when I see a guard hold his arm, or place his feet a certain way before he pulls. Or a quarter back stagger his feet before every pass play. When I find those little details that happen consistently it makes my day. Formation tendencies are great, but the tendencies that coaches don't notice are the best. Sometimes we even get films with coaches signaling in the plays. That is like crack for me. I will sit there and disect the signals/plays until I have it figured out.
Being a defensive coach we can be sneaky as well. We have set up tendencies for certain teams on purpose. We would only blitz out of certain fronts or coverages. We would align a certain way to different formations to make them think a particular formation of theirs would be good against us. I'll stop there.

I cant say for sure but I believe only two states use UIL vs. Federation. I am sure someone will correct me but I think only Texas and Oregon are not Federation.
We are under federation and it does make down field blocking difficult, especially when you run a true triple option. But we have adjusted. You just teach what you can. As far as digging out pulling guards, it can be tough but not impossible.
