I've put together a list of misconceptions about HS Rules. We hear these from fans and coaches. This might be a good start. I'd love to distribute this to coaches and fans.

If anyone has any others, please post them.

Misconception
1 Two feet required inbounds for a catch.
2 Defense can be "offsides" and get back.
3 Uncatchable pass rules out interference.
4 Quarterback out of the pocket can ground the ball.
5 Restrictions on punt team players going downfield.
6 Missed FG goes back to line of scrimmage.
7 Automatic first down on face mask and personal foul.
8 Interference possible on all passes.
9 Loss of down on ineligible down field.
10 FG holder can throw a pass from the knee. (LSU)


The Truth
1 Only one foot is required inbounds for a catch.
2 No one can enter the neutral zone and get back.
3 There is no "uncatchable" rule in high school football.
4 Intentional grounding is not related to the "pocket."
5 No restrictions on when punt team can go downfield.
6 Missed FG is treated like a punt. Goes to 20 if it enters the EZ.
7 Only automatics are roughing and defensive pass interference.
8 No interference if ball doesn't cross the line of scrimmage.
9 LOD only on illegal passes and illegal touching.
10 Holder must rise to continue to play.
