I agree with Al. Our team knows that games and iPods etc are off limits during competition. First of all, in the pits... they are dangerous...having your ears stuffed with music is a safety hazard.
In the stands.. our team knows that they all have jobs to do...they need to be doing them if we are to be the best we can be.
As far as Dean being boring... that isn't any excuse to be playing games in the stands...
You can do whatever you want with your team... but when our team is at an event we are there competing...and everyone has a job... scouting... cheering... etc...
If you think that because you have a large team that this is difficult... our team has 42 student members...and they all stay busy...
Games and ipods are for travel or non-competition times in their hotel rooms... I ask students if they see any football players on the sidelines using ipods? or basketball players....
No they are into the game they are playing and they are putting in effort even though they are not on the field.. they are in the game...
Our teams knows that scouting is what can win a regional.
Our students are in the game...
