Maybe you missed the rule quote in my first couple posts here. Maybe you missed the part where I told Jeff to not compare baseball and football. Maybe you missed the part where I told Jeff that checking all helmets in baseball has been mandatory for years. Maybe you missed the part where I told Jeff that he was comparing unequal things. If so, then I can see why you believe what I wrote is nonsensical and petty.

[Nice red herring. While I don't need the ignore feature on the field, it is nice to have it on here for people like you who love to hear themselves talk. (Or see themselves post)

I suggest you purchase Linda McMeniman's "From Inquiry to Argument". It will explain what a red herring is (you erred) and improve your debating abilities.
It is hardly improper to state that some officials cannot deal with others criticizing their calls, in a forum dedicated to the profession. I further stated that the person who mentioned its use is not highly regarded here or on other umpire forums. A Google search shows that.
I remind you that this new rule regarding equipment checking is flawed. It has not penalty, other than what exists already. If the NFHS wants to make coaches more responsible they need to include appropriate penalty for not ensuring compliance. Otherwise, get rid of the rule and just play ball - like OBR and NCAA ruled games do.
