Same question we asked all those years ago when tobacco products - smokeless or otherwise - were put in the rule book. Someone, somewhere used it and probably argued there was no rule against it.

I'm not familiar with every US states smoking regulations but are there schools/buildings/courts etc where they would be allowed to do this anyway?

Not all games, even high school games, are played in school facilities. Many state tournament games, and preseason tournaments, are played in arenas not affiliated with any school (not even a college).

You cannot smoke in most facilities no matter the affiliation in this state. It is either state or country laws that prevent this from happening even in private buildings on some level (business buildings). Even these e-cigarettes are prohibited to my understanding just like any tobacco product.

A lot of buildings allow e cigarettes that don't allow traditional cigarettes.

Doesn't anybody want to try to read the mind of the NFHS and tell us exactly what cross the free throw line into the semicircle literally means?

Interesting. In Canada we are stuck with FIBA but at least all public indoor spaces and workplaces are smoke free traditional or E . ..

Well, I just got back from camp and we were told you could not put a foot on or across the free throw line until the ball hit the rim.

Hope along with me that they have the presence of mind to clarify this with an unannounced change that will be apparent to us when the new books come out mid-October. As well as a coupla other things yet begging clarification.

Is the NFHS setting aside the the traditional printed distinction between rule reference and casebook reference? ("...Play numbers are designated with a "decimal" whereas a rule reference is shown with a "dash". Example: 7.6.1 is the casebook play and 7-6-1 is the rules book reference." - "FOREWARD" , Casebook p.2). Or is it that the NHFS just isn't very careful when communicating official announcements to us?

One of us from this forum really needs to be nominated to proofread what they intend to publish and disseminate before they actually go ahead and send it out. I guess I'm not so much reacting to this .'s vs. -'s thing as I'm still shaking my head over last year's debacle. Any way we can pull this off?
