Agree.
While your local, or state, association successfully dealt with this issue previous to the Point of Emphasis, independently without the NFHS, my state association only decided to deal with this issue after the NFHS Point of Emphasis was published.
Our big Connecticut problem was not the "circle the wagons" problem, but the congregating on the school logo problem.
Because it was a one and done Point of Emphasis, not appearing in the current book (other than as an unsporting "not limited to" citation) our officials are reminded of this every year as a Connecticut IAABO guideline:
Team members are not allowed to congregate at division line, or on school logo, during introductions.
Your state might have been one (or the only) of the states that caused that the NFHS to deal with this issue.
