This was going on in Iowa, primiarily in the girls games and the athletic union said that the officials should watch for this and not let it happen. Take time to notice how the teams are set and if they seem to be going the wrong way, let them know. Once they put the hammer down on this play, I haven't seen it happen since.
WOW! I believe that the athletic union in Iowa has overstepped. What are the officials supposed to do, not let the players line up in the backcourt? Deem all trick plays illegal?

I don't see how this is either enforceable or proper.
