"But, with the onslaught of modified rules, are umpire's who follow these modifications contributing to the lack of understanding and the proper application of the current legitimate rules by players, coaches and fans alike?"
Rog, Not quite understanding your question here!
Who is making these rule modifications? I know in my profession that if the Code governing bodies are modifying the rules, then I better be following them.
If the individual leagues are modifying the rules within the spirit of the game to accomdate their league, and it is accepted and enforced consistently in that league, whats wrong with that?
An electrical code can be the matter of life and death and is the exact reason why it is regulated. This is totaly different than the rules (or code) established for a sport or game. I think these things are at different ends of the spectrum.
