For those of you that say books are not to be carried by officials. They are in Ohio
5. NEW EFFECTIVE November 4: We have carried a NFHS Rules Book & Case Book to the field in
the past. However, it has never been written. Now it is. If the HC wants to have a
Coach/Referee conference to discuss a misapplication of a Rule, then do it. If the HC & the
officials disagree on the ruling, then EVERY CREW IS REQUIRED TO SHOW THE HC IN THE RULES
&/or CASE BOOK what the ruling states. Incredibly this year, we had some of the most basic
Penalty Enforcements enforced incorrectly (OPI & DPI). The crew failed to check their books.
