I don't know what IHSAA is thinking on this, but this seems to be something that is outside the scope of what a ref should be doing. Player eligibility issues should be handled the same, whether it is a academic issue, age issue, or issue of being eligible to be in that quarter. these are usually handled by an opposing team protest of an alleged violation or by the state association acting when it has knowledge of a violation.

I definately agree with Hawks Coach on this one.
With all of the different leagues and state associations, it can get far too difficult for the officials to know or even care about all of the eligibility rules. Leave these up to the league/state office, where they have people to research these situations.
Before you know it, you'll have opposing coaches saying "#15 is ineligible because he flunked a history test today!
