no one asked the referees at these sessions more specific questions than Belichick, and no team’s staff was more attentive and alert than New England’s. “He was asking, ‘Are you going to call illegal contact at 5 yards, 5 and a half yards? Six? Just tell me how you’re going to call it, and that’s how I’ll coach my guys.’ That’s all he wanted.”

He comes in [to team meetings] and says, ‘OK, we have this set of officials this week,’” said Harrison, now an analyst at NBC Sports. “‘They’ve called 18 pass interference penalties, they call a lot of holding, illegal procedures.’ He briefed us. Belichick, when he coaches, everyone is prepared. Probably too much.”


The strategy is simple: Adjustments are made depending on what referees will call. If the Patriots are sure a crew is reluctant to call pass interference, they can adopt a more physical game plan. If the crew throws lots of offensive-holding flags, they’ll be more likely to ramp up the defensive pressure, knowing the offensive line cannot get away with much.

Players say Belichick is constantly plucking obscure penalty situations from across the league and showing his players tape every week. Veterans who’ve been with multiple organizations in their careers say New England’s position coaches are better than anywhere else they’ve been at correcting would-be penalties in the middle of practice

Belichick thinks about the rules. A lot. Pereira said that when he was with the league, a referee could automatically accept or decline a penalty on behalf of the team if the choice was totally obvious. “Things like a holding penalty that was 10 yards enforced at the end of the kick. A hold on a third-down sack where it’d be fourth-and-15 instead of third-and-18. Obvious things,” Pereira said.

Every coach seemed fine with this arrangement—except for one. “Belichick was not a happy guy when you didn’t give him the decision.” Belichick simply wanted to analyze all the options—no matter how obvious they may be, because this is a man who loves thinking about penalties.

In a given game, Pereira said, Belichick wants to know the exact parameters of how a rule will be called and as much additional information as possible. When Pereira was the head of officials, Belichick only complained to him about particular referees because he didn’t like the way they communicated, not because of how they called the rule book.

Really good insight.
The thing I've come to learn about sports, whether it's Jordan, Kobe, Belichick, Brady, Saban etc in order to be the absolute best you have to have an obsession at all parts of the game.
