This new rule for HS is going to take a while for everyone to get ahold of. I believe it will be almost forever for the coaches and parents but we as refs might prolong that process. Here's what I mean: one night the refs don't administer it correctly and the next night another crew does it right. The coaches won't understand because last night it was handled the other way.
Seems to me that when we have a situation, if the crew will get together and think it thru, it's pretty easy to get it right. After attending 3 camps this summer, I've heard this rule discussed pretty thoroughly to where I'm comfortable with it.
I've already had several situations this year working summer and fall ball where coaches were totally confused. The biggest is involving rebounding fouls. Coaches understand that the team control rule is to be implemented here. Just yesterday a coach was so adament that WE had the rule wrong that HE chose to travel the road that earned himself a T. Unfortunately, he's also a HS ref.
