Really don`t think it can be any slower that it is now. Just like when Blandino goes to the rest room he probably says to the guy next to him.."Hey Joe..take over the reviews for 5 minutes nobody will ever know.
How many replays do you typically see on TV before the challenge is even thrown? They'll have the tape already queued up and a decision probably made.Centralizing a process in order to make it quicker?
That's why it won't be Blandino only. He probably won't even be making any decisions aside from training and maybe advising the team responsible.
Hockey does it. It's very fast compared to football.Centralizing a process in order to make it quicker?
Now that makes more sense than him alone.
I assumed this would include all scoring plays which could be a lot at one time - if he was doing this alone.
It might work well but man, "centralize this and form a committee!" usually doesn't expedite things.
Seems like this case might be an exception though. I don't watch NHL but people here seem to be saying that it sped things up for them. And how often when we're watching an NFL game do we see a quick replay and know the result of the challenge before the ref has even started walking over to the replay area? It seems fairly often that we see a quick replay, announcer says "yep obviously this one will be an easy overturn" and we're still left waiting 6 or 7 minutes for the next snap.-OZ- said:
Exactly. If confirmation of the call he or his crew made isn't clearly evident, he'll spend additional time searching for it. It's basic human psychology.
In a vacuum I agree, but this is a case where a lot of them are going to be queued up by the time the call needs to be made. It's not like they are going to be sitting there waiting for the red flag to be shown before they even look at something. Staffing will be important but this seems like something that's easy to handle. How often do you see something on TV and know on first look his foot was on the line or the call was coming loose? That call is made before they even have to go to commercial.-OZ- said:
Checking scoring plays and turnovers to see if an actual review should take place has been done by the booth at the stadium. And then if they see something that makes it review-worthy then ref goes under the hood and does the review.-OZ- said:
