"What other rules do you selectively enforce".
Many. All good officials do. It's all about judgement.
I see a previous comment by you about wrong and right (post #92). If that is addressed to me, keep in mind I am only sharing the KS view. It's neither wrong nor right. I am just discussing how the NFHS rule is being interped by KS and how I can see where they are coming from - and that I agree. For example, the phrase "for the purpose of coaching his team" could easily be left off if there was not intent to "qualify" what a coach can do in the box. They could have just said, "The head coach may stand in the box during a live ball - period."
It is good to see some can relate to this opinion even though most of the posters cannot. Does not bother me in the least that I am in the minority opinion on this one. It's a good discussion, even for me. But "wrong"? Nope. Probably not "right" either.
