No, that is what they call sarcasm.

Did you say for the most part? Then there were different rules applications between these states? Or are you saying that that each state had to change what was in the NF Rulebook directly in order to make that clear for you? So I guess when Iowa decides to do a coin flip at the beginning of girls games, that is not a rule change? Or is a rules difference only what you say they are? Because someone told me that the rules allowed for officials to wear belted pants, but if you live around me and in the area I live, I guess you can wear them, but you might stand out and not be precieved very well. Is that a rule, or is that a mechanic or just a "regional practice?" I just want to know, some like to say everything is a rule, even when it has no bearing on the game.
I also do not know if your state told you to allow insulin pumps, religious clothing and religious headwear, regardless of NF Rules. The IHSA told us to allow them and the NF rulebook says nothing about allowing insulin pumps, sweats, headgear not specifically stated in the rulebook and to allow Jewish headgear with pins? Did your state tell you to do that? How many schools all over the country have entirely Jewish communities? Well we have several and we were specifically instructed by the State thru our personal websites, not to use NF Rules as it relates to these specific religious clothing. Funny, the only thing the NF allows as it relates to religious clothes or markings is a necklace, taped to a jersey. I have never read anything about wearing a Yameca(sp?). Or a Muslim player wearing her head dress while playing a game or during warmups. Maybe you know something I do not about all the rules differences.

I've called high school basketball in Maryland, Penn, and now Texas, and the only things I had to figure out were the MECHANICAL differences. All three states play by the same set of RULES for HS games.

Good examples. I have never worked in any of those states. Nor have I ever talked face to face with officials that work in those states. But I have worked with and been around officials that work in Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana and Missouri. There are not many, but there are some rules difference on what they feel is unsportsmanlike that results in a T or what they do before the game. Just because they do not list them in the NF Rulebook, does not mean it is not a rule they have to follow. But you would know.
