Not sure how telling us what to do within the NF mechanic is "doing their own thing?" They had found that officials were cheating and going up the court, instead of staying in good position. So they said, "We will only hand the ball into the thrower from the end line." I guess I am not seeing the harm in that.
No big deal in the scheme of things, but why not just correct the officials who were cheating up the court. Correct the cheating official, not the mechanic which is very effective.
Every year in all the sports I work, someone has to come in and give a ruling or clarify a position because the NF did not make their position very clear.
Agreed, and that is called an interpretation. There is a big difference between interpreting a muddy rule and changing it outright.
I will never understand you point that the NF is God and we only have to do what they say to the letter.
You keep using that word "God." Just because I try to use standard NFHS mechanics and rules doesn't imply any worship (well, for you it does). I'll never understand why you worship at the feet of some college assignor who overrules the governing body for whom he works. There is a process in place to request a change in mechanics and rules through NFHS. To "ban" certain mechanics or change them on our own doesn't help anyone (except the ego of the person who anoints themself as Caeser).
