I hadn't considered that the sentence in itself questions that call and that would warrant a technical foul. I looked through several NFHS rule books on Arbiter, but only the basketball rules seemed to have wording similar to the T&F regarding the electronic communications.
We now have a similar rule in the track and field rulebook. Only, it calls for the disqualification of a non-competing team member from further participation in the meet. A pretty serious penalty. (Interestingly, a competitor is only disqualified from the event.)
bob: I had heard that about the MLB too, which is part of the reason it caught my eye when I came across it.
