Coach Walt: I'll be back in five. (I presume he means 5 minutes)

Asst. Coach: Walt, we're in the middle of a game-

Coach Walt: Just call the damn plays!

 What's it mean to "call the plays". (They're playing American football.)

Hi,

Coach Walt: I'll be back in five. (I presume he means 5 minutes) Yes.

Asst. Coach: Walt, we're in the middle of a game-

Coach Walt: Just call the damn plays!

 What's it mean to "call the plays". (They're playing American football.)

I believe it means 'tell the players on the team what to do next'.

Compare this to soccer, where the players think for themselves. Big Smile

Best wishes, Clive
