One final note on PSK

All of us must accept the fact that the 2003 Rule Books have some conflicts and are confusing in regards to PSK. Conflicts have happened before and they will happen again.
Somewhere this year one of your associations "rule guru wannbees" (all of you have a few) will read Rule 2-32-2 and swear that the NFHS has PSK all screwed up because (according to this rule) every R PSK foul occur's while the ball is still in Team K's possession. OR, they will read Rule 10-2-1b and argue that this rule conflicts with the PSK rule.

The answer is actually very simple;
For the purposes of Double Foul penalty enforcment (10-2-1b and 10-2-1c) Team Possession "technically" changes from K to R the moment the kicked ball crosses the ENZ.
This is concept that allows PSK penalty enforcment to fit into NFHS enforcment provisions.
If you beleive in this concept, then Rules 2-32-2, 10-2-1b, and PSK as a whole will fit in just fine and dandy.

Perhaps the NFHS should consider adding Rule 2-32-3 that would state:
2-32-3; When a ball is put in play by scrimmage kick, team possession of a ball changes from K to R the moment the ball crosses the ENZ.

I also have noticed that we all have the 2003 season less than a month away and we need to play the cards that we have been dealt...

Peace
