NFHS Rules Changes 2016-17

[Kansas Ref]

I completed a NF questionnaire a couple months ago regarding:

1) compressing the "5-second closely guarded" to state "within 3 feet" instead of "within 6 feet".

2) affording Team A a spot throw-in at the 27-ft. line instead of endline after a time-out called by Team A (when going the other way).

I presume it's these and other such items are currently being deliberated; however, I've yet to hear any confirmation of such changes--though I'm expecting something soon.

Usually comes a week or two in May.

I filled out a similar questionnaire last year. There must have been over 30 rules change ideas ranging from practical to ludicrous.

Absolutely none of them got adopted.

I think those surveys are as much about gaining insight on long-term opinion trends as they are about next year's rules changes.
