I had a varsity coach ask me this week if a player who fouled out in the JV game could play in the varsity game. I told her that as long as she had eligible quarters, she could play....and then I asked if she had "fouled out" for receiving two technical fouls (no...just five fouls.) I find it helps to know the state rules.

What if you didn't work the JV game? Who is responsible to tracking an providing this information? This is what I call an official "Goat Rope" starting. I am not getting concerned with who, and how many quarters are being played by whom. If I was in a state that had this rule, they would have to provide someone to inform the coaches and teams to players eligibility. What a mess
