Nevada,
I went back and re-read the NFHS book on this last night and reviewed the FIFA changes for 2006. I saw exactly what you just posted and discovered that he was wrong. I knew that he had to be mistaken at the game but he was so empahatic that he was right I thought maybe I missed something at the meeting. Either he confused the emphasis on asking the coaches or he was just cold and wanted to start early. I always check both teams on their 18 as they are warming up and give each team a brief sportsmanship speech in addition to the one we give both full teams before the game. It's funny, but as I was walking 2 miles at the HS track tonight, I was thinking about this. I thought to myself, I know Nevada is going to have the answer for this. Thanks for the info!
