Wait a sec, are you saying that sitting a player for poor performance would be considered player abuse?
If somebody just sucks, you can probably sit them (but you can’t yell at them). But if somebody just makes no real effort to block or tackle (or both on the same freaking play), sitting them might be seen as “punishment” for lack of effort. Can’t do that. You can’t yell at him either.
This isn’t just some South Carolina training. This is NFHS/CDC, and I think pretty much everybody who coaches anything has to do it. I just found it amusing since I did it moments after I read Coach FUBeAR’s analysis. Don’t worry, I doubt anybody takes it seriously outside of California and maybe Massachusetts.
The heat stress, concussion and sudden cardiac death training is actually pretty damn good though.
