High School Penalty Enforcements Made Easy Jeffrey Stern Referee Enterprises Inc 9781582082820 Books Reviews
The third of three books that I ordered in great anticipation of a quick, easy, informative and professional read. Something to improve myself and my fellow officials during training sessions. I have indicated about each of the two other books offered by this author in recent years that any book that assist an official in improving him/herself is a good book and a benficial/worthy effort.
Of the three books I have read (The ultimate book on Interference and one on Holding) this one is by far full of the most beneficial items on a grass roots level. One can read through this book in spite of its rather glaring deficiencies and still get and retain valuable insight into rule interpretation and effective application. However the new officials would be somewhat frustrated.
All three books left me wondering "who in the world do they get to proof-read these works?" It must not be an actual official and if it is, I would be very disappointed about that indeed. When writing for the public and other officials, to order, PAY FOR and read, one would think it would be of great importance to create it in a way to smoothly move through subjects and have all the little words that make a sentence completely intelligible in there and that it would be at least desperately accurate. In other words for publications like this, one must get away from the criptic, broken sentence writing of an official's case book and such for instance.
Putting that aside, I was significantly disappointed in other areas, even though I "will" use parts of this book (the ones that are accurate) to help train, explain and improve my fellow officials skill levels.
Here are some of the issues that surprised and disappointed me
1. Word spelling errors
2. Sentence construction errors
3. References to other parts of the book/chapters that were incorrect
4. Not enough pictures - which were great visual aids for the small portion of the plays they were used with, but there simply were just too few of them, to illustrate the massive amount of guidelines and concepts given. Something critical to new and up and coming officials and that could have been used by an instructor with an overhead or white board to make a concept more understandable.
5. Errors in actual rule/penalty choices and applications - I.E. page 17 says that one of the choices for R on a kick out-of-bounds untouched is "taking the ball 35 yards from the spot of the kick". No level of play out there offers that choice. And this from someone instructing other officials in a book on enforcement!
One would think that as a minimum a book written by a professional - on penalty enforcement -would be meticulously accurate in its verbiage at the very least on yardage counts and such and that someone would have been engaged to "read it over"...to ensure the author's instructions to others was in fact accurate and true. It is not enough to simply say "oh that was just a type-o". Someone should have found that.
6. At some point while reading through this book (about half way), I began to feel like the author just got tired (like alot of new officials do when reading - in the case book) and decided to stick in a bunch of case book plays and leave it at that to finish it up. Or at the very least it appeared that the intended audience was "forgotten" and it lost its course to become nothing more than a mere conversaton between experienced official about a list of case plays to another experienced official and the novice or new comer was left in their dust. It stopped being something that was extremely beneficial to those who do not know the rules, as well as, the author and/or publishers.
7. This book did not at all need to spend pages and time on penalty signals, anyone can get and figure that out who picks up a rule book or goes on line.
What was needed was to take all those wasted pages and put more visual entries of the plays and each of their visual applications; which would have been so much more effective. That would have been worth twice the price and made the book twice as thick and powerfully useful.
As officials, we are constantly bombarded with "you better know the rules and be clear in your presentation of them to others!" We know and hear this about every competion we officiate. You would expect much, much more competency, accuaracy, dependability and believability together with "in the weeds assistance" (I.E. visual depictions) from a publication like this.
The presentation has to be "awe-inspiring", and it wasn't. You have to feel confident in your presenter and that they care about you, the novice, and that you are getting their best and that "they are putting it in crayon" for you and that what you are reading from someone of this caliber is correct and accurate. It did not do that.
It will however, help train others as I have said, some of it, but it simply did not blow my socks off, and in the end I felt that I was just reading a list of Case Book Plays someone had decided to transcribe from my football case book, to the pages of this book.
So the thougth arose, "why was I paying this much for something I already have". I was just expecting so much more in depth assistance and motivational material than this.
