After all, what do the NCAA and the NFHS have in common WRT the rules of the game? ANS: The coaches are in control.
This FED bashing is becoming common for you, Tom, and I am somewhat surprised.

Oooh, oooh, wait! Please don't leave me out of this.
While I believe the Fed should absolutely retain it's position as a sanctioning body for high school sports, I will be the first to state that they should get out of the rules business.
Another problem I have, at least in my little section of this country, is that ASA provides 100% of umpire training. The annual Fed "clinic" is run more for the coaches with the umpires almost as an afterthought. There is no direction to the umpires other than which "state optional" rules will be used and a quick review of any rule changes. That's it, nothing else!
I put out the time and the money and the NFHS benefits.
See, it all depends on where one is standing at the time as to whether they may or may not be on target with any criticism of the Fed or any other organization.
Tom, welcome to the club.
