Baseball teams do this. They study the pitcher, to see if he ‘tips’ his pitches. Good pitchers know not to give any hint of what they are throwing.
Yeah, it’s more like reading the pitcher than peeking at what the catcher is calling for. Both are legit and not cheating, but you don’t hear baseball guys usually admit either one right after the fact, sometimes it comes out through clubhouse channels. I take it he was using hand signals to the receivers or something, can’t see anyone else being able to see it?
In baseball there is a quick way to both see if the hitter is peaking at the catcher and to get it to stop. Call for low and away breaking ball by the sign but throw a heater up and in. If the batter dives out over the plate and has to deal with 90+ the experiment has been successful and is self-correcting.
