Not. A. Fan.

A lot of things. Like how to cover the goal line. Where to set up on something as simple as an scrimmage kick (at least this was the case for years). My state got tired of doing everything that was never updated and changed specific mechanics that if we used the manual, would have been big holes in plays covered.
I am not saying I would agree with everything Ohio does, but I certainly do not agree with the NF book on many things. Now unless they have changed, they were not much help in the sport of football. And certainly, that was just the crew of 5. Heck if you had fewer officials on the field, the NF was almost no help.
