Megaphones
Did we ever come up with an answer in this thread about cheerleaders with megaphones ? I think that the NFHS would deem these to be artificial noisemakers and thus illegal. What's the opinion of this Forum ?
P.S. I've had more problems with cheerleaders over the past few weeks than with coaches, players, or fans. In one case I asked the cheerleaders, who were lined up in a ninety-degree angle around the baseline and sideline, to back up a little. One of the girls asked me with a "snotty" tone in her voice "Why ?". I explained that they were in my way, and they reluctantly backed up. Last night, the cheerleaders came on the floor during the first thirty-second time out. I waited until they were done with their routine, and politely asked them to not come on the floor during a thirty-second time out. One said, again with a "snotty" tone, "Since when ?". I explained that the rule was clarification this year. Another politely asked me how they would know the difference, and I showed them the two signals. I am not anti-cheerleader, my daughter was a basketball cheerlaeder in college.
