NF 2012 Rules Changes

[rcaverly]

I am pleased that NFHS made the rule change. I am anxious to see it in the book with some accompanying case plays. The devil will be found in the details. It's still the NFHS, after all.

After playing and supposedly having crews checking equipment during 30-some regular and post-season games this year, plus 30-or-so more games in summer-ball played under the NFHS code, I still found an illegal bat at last night’s game, plus a cracked helmet (same team...go figure.)

The team’s summertime coach was surprised.

I would like to see an automatic ejection of the head coach as the penalty for discovering that his team used illegal equipment during a game after having declared at the pre-game conference that his team's, "... players are legally and properly equipped."

Yeah, like that'll ever happen.
