Secondary Defender/Restricted Area ...

Here is my recommendation regarding the NFHS proposed secondary defender/restricted area rule suggestion (from a 100% high school official):
Absolutely not. Players who take a charge should only be restricted by whether or not they have legal guarding position, not by where they are standing, or if they are a secondary defender (help defense is a good defensive play). Ball handlers shouldn’t be allowed to dribble anywhere they want with their head down charging into opponents, no matter where the defender is, or who the defender is. Most NFHS games, especially below the varsity level (junior varsity, freshman, middle school) are two person games, making it very difficult to call this NCAA rule (with all three person crews) correctly. Absolutely not.
