There is no mandatory slide rule in NFHS (FED). FED has the force play slide rule where, if there's a force play, the player must either slide directly into the bag (and legally; check your rule book for definition of illegal slide), or veer off away from the pivot man. If he doesn't do either, it's a double play.
Players are never required to slide- ever.
Hopefully this clears it up for you.

As for the names of coaches, my apologies for that. I wasn't thinking when I was typing and immediatly after I hit 'submit' I knew I shouldn't have included his name. I just know he's a name many people and umpires are familiar with. I realize I shouldn't have included it.

It's ok- i just didn't want you to somehow get into trouble by having that bite you in the ace.
