My daughter’s 14u travel softball team used an intricate wrist band signal system for pitches and base runners. 14…i was thinking college football players could easily adapt to this.How about doing something like this for The Game, this year and every year:
Assume they are going to attempt to cheat and/or steal your game-day signals, which should have already been true. Use multiple sets of wristbands and change them for each drive, making sure that every offensive player and coach always has the same set. That’s not rocket science, it just requires quick, careful distribution of stuff when the change is made.
Or do something a little trickier. Use ‘4’ sets of wristbands that each have a color code on them, red-yellow-green-purple. Then have another 4 sets of those same colors, with the numbered plays determined to beat a defense that would be called in order to beat those same numbers on the previous version of each color. So when they think they know you’re now using the ‘yellow’ plays again, you’re actually using a different yellow set that is designed to beat defenses which are a reaction to the first set of yellow plays. So their cheating/stealing would be working against themselves.
That would be more complicated, but I think there are enough GA’s or other staff members whose time for ensuring that TTUN doesn’t have a sign-stealing advantage in The Game would be cost justified.
