No Huddle Communication System

Coach, what is a wrist coach? Is this a grid that has plays listed and you call out a row and column combination? Or does it list the assignment per play?

We are thinking through the same issues, I am not sure the wrist bands offer any advantage over yelling in the play using code words. Last season was our first NH, and the yelling sytem worked fine so long as the yeller was ahead on his play calling duties. Either system you are yelling in or signalling in the play... no steps are eliminated to speed up the process. I don't know about you, but with our players I don't want them to have to read a table to get information, this is a scary proposition with our SAT challenged athletes! This is why I am interested in wrist bands that list assignments. Do you use multiple sheet wrist bands? Do you have any problems with defenses who try to take them as trophies?

Coach, I reread your post. I have heard of one system where they use the wrist band with a table, and call out plays like when playing the board game Battleship. The coach changes the grid every quarter so when he yells out "B-9" it is a different play every quarter and the D can't get a bead on it. Seems like alot of fuss and possibly paranoia, but this team is a perrenial power - YMMV!
