The NFHS is infamous for coming up with Points of Emphases without changing the rulebook (excessive swinging of elbows with contact above the shoulders, protecting the free throw shooter, etc.). I really wish that they would stop doing this, but if I'm a veteran, and know the point of emphasis, I'm going to follow it.
