Mr. DeNucci,
I have been causing a small stir around here in the girls games that I have been doing. I don't know if I am the only one in the country who tells the girls that they can't have their heel lifted above the lane space divider. I don't know why girls do this, but it is clearly a violation. I tell almost every team that I see that they can't do this and I get the dumbest looks. The coach questions me saying "no other officials have a problem with this". I have never seen a male player do this. Is this only done in northern Minnesota or what? I haven't had to call a lane violation yet because they have just slid their foot over. Maybe a coach can tell me if this helps them get a quicker start toward blocking out or what the rationale is for this stance.
