COMMUNICATION

It's already about the third week of the college sports season, and one thing already has me somewhat disgruntled, lack of communication betweeen SIDs.

We're all busy, I understand that. But please, please, please have some common courtesy. If you are hosting multiple events on one day and won't be able to get me the tennis, golf or cross country results until a later hour, that's fine, just let me know, so I am not hitting refresh on my email for three hours. If you ask me for a Stat Crew roster, and I send it, I somewhat expect a game file that same day. If we are hosting you and I ask you three times for your roster, please send it. I know its on the website, but a lot of times website rosters are incomplete or wrong, and plus, I dont feel like retyping your Stat Crew roster.

Folks, we are in the communication business, but I feel like the communication is eroding away as more and more veteran SIDs give up the business and the SID positions are full of web site and TAS whizzes who sit behind their computers all day and complain on the SID Board about why Stat Crew can't produce this or that meaningless stat. A lot of the basic communication and common courtesy in this business are gone. Thoughts?
