I have a feeling the first time I enforce the POE, I'll be having a thrilling conversation with the coach. 
Tell me about it. I had a MS-G game last week and had to look out for a potential foul against the free throw shooter. I was so concerned about that, I didn't see whether the ball hit/missed the rim. |
This was a rule for 4 years in the 90s. I can't remember all the complaining and general clutching of pearls about it then.
Life got so much easier when I decided to just go out and work games and not overly concern myself with what the NFHS did or didn't do.
