Far too many coaches have their games taped, view the film, and do very little else. Some simply keep statistics from film, while others scout the opposition. The irony of all this time invested in the process is the fact that many offensive and defensive problems can be solved with proper use of game footage. I have never been one to spend a lot of time just viewing videotape. Long hours were spent splicing and repairing those early machines, and the cumbersome process often discouraged proper use.
Every coach has a different philosophy for viewing games.
This is what we did wrong. And many times, that's okay. This type of viewing is alright except it never makes the process an exact science. At your disposal, you have the entire game. You don't have to lie in bed and rethink anything.
