I only want to take exception to one comment that you made. There might be only one interpretation based on what the NF thinks, but not necessarily what different associations or areas think. Someone that has officiated in Illinois and worked from the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan, that is not always true. There are very often times many rules that you have to modify or be careful calling. Especially those that are in an administrative category. And for you to make that comment really is incorrect. Now maybe you do not have that problem in Ohio, but in Illinois, we have over 700 IHSA Schools. From the city to the smallest of towns. All have different economic issues and area practices. So yes you will practice NF rules, but when a team has no number on the front of their jersey, you might not get a lot of support for calling a T on every player.
