This is EXACTLY why it's not called. Rough post play was not a NFHS POE this year. But it has been over the past few years. Intentional fouls and Palming/Carrying were POE. I started out the season calling both per the POE but soon learned that coaches were not ready to accept it. It was either back off or start calling a lot more technicla. My booking agent felt it was better to back off.

Bottom line - The POE is a wasted page in the rule book.
