Right before the toss, just ask, "Have you guys played here before? Do you know about the division line thing?" And include any other rule changes that you know about. Then later they can't say they didn't know.

Jewel,
I hope you are joking.

This doesn't seem so bad, mick, as long you understand that Juulie is talking about any rule changes for that court, not any NFHS rule changes for the new season. Kind of like baseball coaches and umps going over the ground rules of the ballpark before the game.

Yea, yea, what he said!
Seriously, I have worked at a wide variety of different venues and I have learned that it's always best to just touch on the highlights before-hand. Saves lots of arguing later. For that court. Yes.
Where would be the joke?

Jewel,
Okay, so it wasn't a tongue-in-cheeker. Hmmm.
Where you said, "
Right before the toss,..., is what I question.
You cannot expect players to get a new rule and understand it in that short a time period. How do you tell the coaches? Do you just look over your shoulder and mention it from the circle?
The teams need time to adjust presses and offenses. They can't be blind-sided or ambushed like that.
