Just like Texas that chooses to use NCAA Rules in Football and there is nothing the NF can do about it but take away their voting privileged. But you will not admit that fact considering you treat the NF like they can never be questioned on any level.

Your constant and tireless appeal to the ability of state associations to alter playing rules or mechanics has become tedious.
Adam is not in a state that does not have NFHS voting rights. His state professes to adhere to NFHS rules. The specific situation he raised and to which I responded was simply about how to properly adjudicate these fouls under NFHS rules during the game. It had nothing to do with the state office adding a harsher penalty or suspension after the fact.
Altering a personal foul to a technical foul is not a policy of his state office. It is simply a mistaken interpretation by whomever responded to his situation.
