As MLB . . .
. . . "ButtSnufflers" know all Professional Umpires at the AAA level and up were grandfathered in the process to be allowed to use the scissors.
Professional umpires at AA and below are not allowed to use the stance because of insurance coverage reasons.
JK;
I am sure you are aware that 94% of all National Federation of High School rules are suggested by and added by coaches.
While you might think NFHS rules are "stupid" there seems to be concerns from "someone" that causes the rules to be amended each year.
While we don't see many of the issues in our area that the rules makers think important the concern must come from SOMEWHERE.
John, we have known each other for years -- FED is FED and it will always be different than college or professional sport. I can cite you situation after situation in all types of high school sports where your "one-in-a-million" lawsuit has been filed against the NFHS.
While I don't agree with all FEDlandia rules I certainly try to call them as my client expects them to be called.
