Bucs coach on refs

The difficulty that I have with the explanation is that, nowadays, most of the time that a runner is tackled straight to the ground (as the Titan player was), the officials never even blow the whistle.   If they had not blown the whistle and simply let the play develop, they could have always gone back and made the determination that the runner was down by contact before the ball came out.  In other words, there really wasn't any need for a (quick) whistle.  But Arians will get fined, the Bucs still take the L, and nothing will happen to the official. 

Official should have come out and said:  "Look, when somebody other than a RB or WR is running the ball, like a QB, a kicker or a holder, we're going to blow a quick whistle because, frankly, most of them are not very big (compared to the defensive players) and very few of them know how to take a hit or protect themselves.  So we try to help protect them.  In this case, we blew the whistle too soon and we apologize to the Bucs players, coaches and fans."

we don’t have money to pay refs.  We also don’t have resources to critique refs and make them better.  It is a major problem that has probably no solution on the high school level.

most refs do it because they love the sport and make a few extra bucks.  I wish there was a way to pay them more and make them better.

As I mentioned before it’s 2019 play reviews & challenges should have been implemented in HS sports.

I think the referees should become jerks and literally call a penalty on every play (as we all know there is one) to the point that coaches/players/fans realize that they can't call everything because if they did it would be 6 hour long games. 

I think replay has spoiled us as fans. Force replay to be done in at normal speed, no slo-motions, and only for obvious calls. If you have to zoom in, then no go. If you have to take the play at half speed, no go. All of these NFL fans rave about the players in the 1970s and 1980s, but they fail to realize there was very limited replay available back then. And while they love the referees back then because the referees didn't get wrong, the refs still got it wrong, there just was 10K replays of it. 

I think if they are getting it right more than they aren't. At the high school level, I have obvious blocks in the back that led to a large punt return and the fans will still book the call. Why? Your player obviously did it.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
