I should've noticed that error of Mark's regarding who is ultimately responsible for the configuration of a two-deep, Pat, but I let myself get distracted by his colorful metaphor regarding signal flares in fundaments.

Yes, and with specific regard to appropriately green signal flares, I suspect the SID and coach might have collaborated in using some Barium Chlorate Ba(ClO3)2 which produces a very bright classic exhibition green in order to possibly engage in a little gamesmanship in this case. 😏

That's ridiculous. There are no calculated attempts on the part of SIDs, in collaboration with coaching staffs or otherwise, to game the system by disseminating two-deeps that are crafted to deceive opposing coaches.

As Pat said, coaches put together the two-deeps; SIDs merely distribute them. And I'm not saying that there aren't less-than-honest head coaches (as opposed to merely optimistic ones in the case of player injuries) who play fast-and-loose with two-deeps. But SIDs have professional standards to which they are required to adhere -- standards that don't include conspiring to lie to other schools.
