What do you have?

Text book verbal obstruction in a FED game. Somewhere in my old e-mails I have an interpretation from Kyle McNeely, a former NFHS rules committee member that explains how and why this should be called in a FED game.

We already know the reason why it should be called in a FED game...because the FED likes to coddle the kids and not let them just play ball.

I'd change it to "stop it in FED and ignore it in ncaa". You don't want to have to enforce this.

Of course, F5 will just claim that he's telling F6 to play deeper.

I agree with you to try to put a stop to it before it becomes an issue, Bob. But , in my opinion, if it effects the outcome of a play, we should enforce it.
