I gave up looking for "gifted athlete" in Rule 2 or the index.
It must be in someone's imagination and fits in with their vagaries of explanation. My guess is that it won't be in the new rule book either.
My take on the numbering exception was that it allowed faster players to be on the line and give better punt coverage. Maybe a reputable coach could tell us about that.
As for the rule change, I will wait for the NFHS rule book to come out before trying to understand wordage which none of us have seen. Maybe it will be in the Redding NFHS book which is coming out next month.
Was I brief?
