Absolutely agree in regard to current (and probably past) NFHS rule language.
The existing rule language (intentional, flagrant) is very subjective, but does allow for penalties as described in the Point of Emphasis.
The only citation for such is in the very old Point of Emphasis.
And that's the crux of this problem, a problem caused by the NFHS in its not very well thought out Point of Emphasis.
How long did the NFHS intend this Point of Emphasis to be in effect?
Since it didn't add any parameters to the rulebook, did it intend only one year?
Or did it intend longer, but something fell behind a cabinet and was forgotten, or did a new regime come into power and forget to follow up?
Stupid NFHS.
