Here's exactly where my problem lies - I know that in the rules meeting I attended when this first came out, we were told to follow the NFHS guidelines. And, I do remember specifically being reminded right before post-season that the guidelines were still to be followed, at least in our area. So, someone at the IHSA thought the NFHS guidelines were too strict, but didn't make clear to all the clinicians that the guidelines were not to be followed to the letter. And, I would still like you to show me where I can find this IHSA clarification, in writing? Is it in the Official's Handbook? Is it on the website somewhere?
I agree the IHSA has a right to make clarifications, it's just that the communication is not very clear.
