Well, I'm not one in the coaching position as of yet in my FIRST-career, but maybe if we decided on a quick and easy way to communicate between 4 teams beforehand and agreed to use it, it might make things easier.
Sure, only a percentage of teams visit the boards (222, to be exact, from what the stats say), but if a good number of teams are sticking to this procedure, then I bet a lot of the rest of the teams would follow and use it in other matches (I dont know, I'm thinking that some structure will win out over none at all).
Of course, I have dealt with these people before, albeit in different context ("No, sir, you and your team cannot get you picture taken in front of the FIRST sign at the moment, CNN is doing an interview, you can either wait for it to finish or go to the other side....what did you just call me???"
....but, I'm trying to be optimistic about this.
Soooo, what restrictions are there on what can be brought into the player station? Any ideas on a procedure to follow?
