Garth,
I really can't believe you wrote that. Your trying to sell me on the FED differences from OBR by telling me that they are COACH DRIVEN! ROTFLMAO!!!
Coaches are the last freakin people that should anything to do with making up rules. They don't seem to understand a good many of them, have another set just flat wrong and are totally unaware that some exist. No wonder why there are so many different FED rules.
And honestly, I don't care what other sports do. It's not relevant. Do their summer leagues use NBA rules? Has the NBA been around for a century? The summer leagues around here use OBR with the exception of substitution/reentry, FPSR and malicious contact. And it all works out fine.
FED comes out with the rules dujour every year. There is no reason to do that. The rules are, for the most part, fine. A slight tweak here or there but other than that, leave 'em alone and play ball.

This seems to be one of those, "There is no reason for FED to be different than OBR" rules.
Making changes for the sake of making changes...

1. Fed rule changes are "coach driven." They are not created by bureaucrats sitting around a table deciding what to do with the next two hours before quitting time. Just because you do not see a reason for a rule does not mean one did not exist. Reasons for changes must be submitted with the request for the change.
2. Which rules do the youth football and basketball teams use in your area? No doubt, unless you're in Texas, FED. We never hear this anti-FED mantra in those sports. Why all the whining in baseball?
