Staffs use IPads all the time to take stats and chart plays etc.....you just cant take pics of video images from the coaches booth...

There's no rule against devices

There's no need to wonder, the NCAA rules are very specific about what technology is and is not allowed...

I've seen coaches run gassers before....I know at one school kids run gassers for every unsportsmanlike penalty....staff got a flag for sideline infaction and the whole staff ran

It is...Jim Bob in the bleachers yelling at Coach to call the touchdown play while live-streaming the game to Auntie Blanche over in Chester isn't making in-game adjustments or personnel decisions etc...but a Coach in the booth absolutely could...therefore potentially impacting the game

You've got it...they didn't take pics of game action therefore no rules violated....

No scouting teams are not allowed to video....what keeps them from doing it is scouts are generally placed in a public area and would get called out on it real quick

You can have cell phones in the pressbox and coaching booth; you just can't be up there taking video and reviewing it real time....yes there are others who I am sure violate the rules, but is that really an excuse? This isn't the first time a team has had to forfeit games for this and it won't be the last....

Coulda been a pressbox worker, coulda been a band parent coming up to announce at halftime....coulda been a media member.no rules against them having tecnhnology.....just remember someone is always watching

Rules are rules....teams have been pulled off the bus on the way to the state title game because of less...it happens...

PNG can still appeal if they want to Austin....but also keep in mind if they appeal it could potentially dig up other stuff (if in fact this wasn't the first time).....but if they believe they didn't do anything wrong and want to clear their reputation that is an option as well

AggiesAreWe we must have seen the same photos lol The photos I saw were pretty clear evidence IMO

No....when the day started and even if they beat Nederland the best they could finish was 4-3 but they'd need Santa Fe to lose out to get in.....now Crosby is in total control of their destiny....so its a quite different

Yes that's the thing....Crosby loses to Nederland and they no longer control their own destiny...they have to rely on help and need a lot of things to happen to get in.....

NCAA rules are very specific about when you can and can't review video...and the pressbox is one place you cant...

Crosby still has to beat Nederland; if they lose to Nederland they are back to 3 losses and the only way they can get into a positive tiebreaker scenario is if PNG loses both of their last 2 games....which is possible but IMO unlikely....if Crosby is 4-3 they need PNG involved because they lost H2H to Santa Fe and Barbers Hill

From what I was told the evidence was brought forth and Vidor made the motion to consider the forfeit; but the game in question was vs Crosby hence why Crosby did not vote...obviously PNG didn't vote either not sure why Barbers Hill didn't vote...the 2 votes the other way were Nederland and Baytown Lee

This doesn't impact things much UNLESS Crosby beats Nederland this week.....

I've confirmed it on my twitter...spoke to the DEC chair directly

Greg Tepper sat down with the one and only head coach of the Mustangs at Coaching School [Hidden Content]

[Hidden Content] Greg Tepper caught up with Coach Faircloth at Coaching School

The city of Arlington owns AT&T but Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are the operators of the stadium thus making negotiations much easier and more direct for the UIL... As for Dallas people not driving to Houston...I think the bigger problem when the games were in Houston were Houston people didnt drive to Houston to see the games....a good portion of attendance at AT&T Stadium are locals who just make it an event to go there for playoff games etc. I do believe the games should be rotated, but I did a study over the past seven years (when the single site title games got started and if you take the average mileage from the schools participating thus far from each of the 3 stadiums AT&T is by far the most central locale (note I didnt include six man).....those numbers don't like and backup what the UIL says 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 AT&T Stadium 147.1 206.5 183.3 171.9 182.6 161.2 179 NRG 203.7 244.9 236.4 251 252.1 226.3 246.4 Alamodome 231.9 222.4 243.4 269.2 235.5 246.5 230

bingo...

For the record Peterman did interview
