Pre-game warm ups

I happen to know that POE because I am on this Forum, no other reason. If the NFHS was so dead-set on this being 100% a technical for taunting, every time, then perhaps they should add it to the current year rules/case book so I can know for sure. I believe I'm on shaky ground when I start calling stuff based on what the rule book said 6 years ago.

I wouldn't expect you to know that off the bat, but I would hope that over time you'd work to educate yourself about these kinds of things. If I was your partner, I'd probably explain this to you when the situation came up, and hope that you'd put it under your hat and be aware of it in the future.

Ok, so how far back do I have to go? And how do I explain how this is tainting to a coach without it being written in the case book??

Not everything that is unsportsmanlike can be in the books and what you can do.

This arose from some fighting issues amongst rival schools. In Kentucky at one point they banned the post game handshakes.
