And is even on record describing Stallions' role as bringing a military-style operation to deliver tactical advantages.
Ask anyone if they think the Astros cheated. The answer is yes. Michigan did the exact same thing in football form. Signals aren't as easy in football as 1- fastball 2- curveball, etc. but they also had to decipher signals with a runner on 2nd and so on and Stallions did something similar recording and charting until he figured it out. Something you can't do with the TV copy or on gameday. You might get 5 total playcalls and signals from a TV copy. That is the most ridiculous defense that Michigan fans are using right now.
You can also keep signals from the prior year that you chart from the sidelines and maybe help you the following year but chances are it has changed enough. They also shield it from the opposing sidelines for that reason.
Sign stealing is fine if it is done in game without the use of technology. As soon as technology comes into play and you're deliberately hiding it.. nah. The head man can deny directing it and all that, maybe he didn't coordinate it himself, but he knew. You've got the guy standing beside your coordinators literally giving them the play and you're on the same head set and you're in the game planning and strategizing meetings. Having been in those locker roms as a player and assistant... there is absolutely zero chance he had no idea.
