From the content of your many posts, I'm assuming that you're a veteran, experienced, official, working a demanding high school varsity schedule with some pretty good players in the Chicagoland area. Yet, you say that you have to remind them about this basic rule quite often? We seldom have to warn high school varsity players regarding this rule in my little corner of Connecticut.
Why the difference? Do different leagues that you service use different rules, i.e. hybrid NCAA, and NFHS, rules, like the private prep schools in my area? Or are your players just stupider than mine? Maybe your players are so talented that they are already thinking about their college careers, and college rules, whereas, many of my players are wondering where they parked their John Deere tractor in the school's parking lot, or if they remembered to lock up the chickens in the coop for the night.
Seriously, why the difference?
