NFHS questionnaire

[BryanV21]

Perhaps it's been talked about enough that it's simply accepted by now, but I can't help but feel the "they won't call it if the penalty is too harsh" thing is rubbish.

Why change a rule simply because it's not being handed out correctly or consistently? How about teaching officials to do their jobs and do what the rule book says? This reeks of the inmates running the asylum. Isn't that what points of emphasis are for?

Look how many times they've changed the penalry for non contact swinging elbows and leaving the court.

How is that a response to the post you quoted? Does it mean you don't feel the need to follow the rule book because there's a decent chance the rule will change in a few years?

Hell, Bob's post about providing a link was so he could see the questionnaire.

That was a forum bug.

I didnt make that point because it was good or bad. There was a reason why those rules were changed because it wasn't enforced as written.

Several years ago when the the leaving the court T, we had the guy that im certain was single handedly responsible for getting rule changed to a violation. He called 18 T's for leaving the court in a single game.

Ah. I should have figured it was something like that.

We have mercy rule in Iowa. 35+ points is running clock unless losing team gets it below 20. It is wonderful.

Just my 2 pennies:

1) Rolled waistbands have no effect on me.

2) Anything to make it more like college is good (coach can't call TO during live ball, shot clock, etc.)

3) Mercy rule should be left up to state associations.

4) All undergarments/sleeves/wrist&headbands/etc. should be either white or black. White if home and black if visitor.

5) Eliminate jump ball, captain's meeting, and jacket requirement for officials.

6) Reduce timeouts by one full.

7) Require officials' shoes to be ALL black and eliminate rules that are never enforced.
