Gordon:
For the last two weeks (including last night) I have been updating the area coaches on the 2008 Rules Changes.
What I have found concerning this change:
1) Coaches want to know what is the definition of "access". Is "access" 1" of the base or 1/2 of the base?
2) The NFHS Overheads clearly state that a "train wreck" is still possible without an obstruction call. The spring news letter has an example of a "train wreck" and says it is obstruction.
3) We believe that there will be far more comments from offensive coaches than defensive.
Regards,
