I was looking at XSplit's Gamecaster and haven't downloaded it yet, but it looks like their feature is mainly for writing on top of your live video stream.

Probably the most realistic way is having someone at the webcast PC stopping & starting match recordings, and then have those files immediately accessible by another PC that can load them into another application designed for replay & telestration. Anyone have suggestions on applications that do this?

I know for a fact that it is possible to do this with some football coaching software and preferably a wacom tablet or something similar. I remember gamesense did something similar at Chezy Champs.

My one concern is whether or not you would use the stream video. I wouldn't want to because it wouldn't give you the best view. Ideally you could string up a camera directly above the field with a focal length wide enough to capture everything and minimum distortion, aka not a GoPro. The absolute best setup for this would be a Full Frame camera and an 11 - 14mm fixed focal length lens.
