Yea, cause the coach can be on the field helping the kid hold the ball.
Listen, in my mind it all comes down to the KID HAS TO HOLD ON TO THE BALL. No matter how many times you tell him, it doesn't mean he isn't going to be scrapping for a few extra yards and get the ball stripped when he should have just gone down (*cough*green*cough*). The players play the game, not the coaches.
There are many drills you can do to hold onto the ball and the huskers had to do back when big dan played and was fumbling all the time. I learned them all today in my theory of coaching football class.
I know. But again, how do we know that those aren't going on in practice and the people fumbling just aren't getting it?
