Video Review Needs to Happen Now

I would ask again in the fall. Most offseasons happen in the spring or fall; relatively few in the summer.

While I think nobody can expect perfect camera coverage of the field, even a single full field view results in some things being reviewable. If someone tries to get a review and there isn't clear video, the outcome doesn't change and the situation is no worse than having no video review at all.

I feel like a "it has to be perfect or it isn't worth doing at all" attitude here will really hold people back from experimenting with this.
