Jeff, what were the things they don't do in Iowa that you had to discuss? I suppose you played by the home team rules and did not make up a hybrid set for this individual game?

Coaching box rule. Illinois uses the extended coaching box rule, Iowa does not.
Subbing a disqualified player. Illinois has to have a player subbed in
immediately, not within 30 seconds. This is actually an experimental rule from the NF, that we have been using since last year.
Pregame situations Iowa does not allow a team to circle the court with the other team on the court. In Illinois this has always been acceptable and allowed as long as they do not abstruct their opponents from their warmup drills. Even this year that put in this "neutral zone" in many cases there are still things done that might violate that rule that the NF put into place. But in the eyes of some and what has not been made clear to all, sometimes the neutral zone is violated, but not because of taunting. But this one has sparked some debate.
Jump Ball Girls Basketball in Iowa does a coin flip in place of a Jump Ball. Of course in Illinois, we do not do this.
These are just some of the differences, the practices would make this list larger. But these are things that an Iowa school would have to deal with when playing in Illinois. I also know officials that work in Missouri, Indiana and Wisconsin. Everything that they do in those states to not always mirror IHSA Regulations or Rules according to the officials that work in those states. And all these states do use the NF Rulebook.
