If you don't belive the NF makes mistakes then read 3.4.15 Situation A on page 3 of the 05-06 NF Case Book. The ruling is WRONG. The correct ruling is A1 is a PLAYER and he alone gets the T. his status as a player does not change just because it is halftime.

Daryl,
Please take a look at 10.4.1SitB. It seems that the NFHS says that his status does change during halftime.
There is a sentence in that ruling which reads, "During intermission all team members are bench personnel and are penalized accordingly." To me that means that between quarters, including the halftime interval, the head coach should be assessed an indirect technical foul when any of his team members receive a technical foul.
Now you are free to argue that the ruling in this case book play is also incorrect and for the sake of consistency, I hope that you do.
I too do not feel that every case book ruling is right. Those who write them make mistakes and misinterpret rules that have been around since long before they were on the NFHS committee. Personally, I have argued in another recent thread on this forum that the ruling in 10.3.3SitB is wrong. That's my crusade.
