I am of the opinion that many of these Points should be permanently etched as rules in the NFHS Rulebook, for all, especially new officials, to study.

The fact that these POE dont remain as part of the rule book is exactly why the elbow above the shoulders contact POE is one of the worst POE's in my opinion. Especially given the conversations at the local association level when this came about didnt give me a lot of confidence that not quite a majority understood the POE completely in our meetings.
