I am also planning to purchase a NFHS Rulebook and Casebook. My local IAABO board will only be distributing NFHS Rulebooks and Casebooks to our new class (rookies), and to those who serve as interpreters, or are on the rule training committee.

I'm aware that these two books can be purchased from the NFHS website ($10.00 each).
A few years ago, our state association (CIAC) wanted our six local IAABO boards to join the NFHS through our CIAC existing membership (with an increase in our CIAC membership fee). Every other Connecticut high school sport does this (joins the NFHS through our CIAC), but not basketball. We fought the proposal using the argument that we already get our NFHS Rulebook and NFHS Casebook in the IAABO Handbook, a good argument at the time. Quoth the raven, "Nevermore".

The post above was from March 2022. Here's an update. The Connecticut IAABO State Board has now decided to support $17 NFHS dues beginning in the 2023-24 season. We will join the NFHS through the CIAC. We already pay $13 each annually to belong to the CIAC, now we will pay an additional $17 each annually to the CIAC (total $30) to also belong to the NFHS. These fees will be rolled into our annual local/state/international IAABO board fees ($125 last year).
Does membership in the NFHS, through a state association, mean free paper NFHS rulebooks and casebooks and/or free online NFHS rulebooks and casebooks?
I figure that we've got to get something for our $17.
