Featured speaker will be Mike Pereira, former vice president of officiating for the NFL. Officials will get their instructional materials and room assignments at that time.

THE WEEKLY BULL — Each week a bulletin from the SDCFOA Instructional Chair (me... Steve Coover the SDCFOA Instructional Chair), will be sent out via Arbiter to all officials. It will usually arrive on Monday or Tuesday. It is expected that you read and comprehend all that is presented in The Bull so we are all "on the same page". Crew chiefs are expected to emphasize important elements and information from The Bull in their weekly game preparation. The 1st Weekly Bull will be sent out this Monday in advance of the Wednesday meeting (see above).

"Provide the right theatre." - Greg Burks, Big 12 Supervisor of Officials

You will hear me many times throughout the season referring to the "optics" of a particular situation. The term "theatre" is a synonym and it further defines how we should present ourselves, collectively and individually, as we manage the various elements and tasks within the game. We must "prepare ourselves" to move in a smooth and confident manner that portrays skill and accuracy. I suggest you review pages 74-76 on Communication, Field Presence, and Sideline Control which is adapted from the teachings of Mike Weseloh and Tony Corrente. Making a great first impression, treating all participants with respect, demonstrating a love for the game, and gaining the confidence and trust of each head coach, go a long way to being successful each game. When we master our mechanics as a crew, and communicate accurately with words and signals, we can "provide the right theatre" when it comes to a critical measurement, complicated penalty enforcement, or the determination of an important completion or incomplete pass. In each of these cases, hopefully, we "provide the right theatre."
