Practicing Two-Hand Reporting

[SC Official]

Two hands is not simply a mechanic. It's a rule. Rule 2-9-1 is going to be changed to reflect this.

I doubt a significant number of, if any, states are going to override the new rule.

Yeah, like the jersey we are asked to wear is a rule too. And I do nothing but see a lot of games that are not following the rule by not wearing a black and white striped shirt. Good luck enforcing that one across the board.

Not the same thing. But if it makes you feel better, have at it. My state will be using two hands; one of the camp directors was just talking to me today about training on it this summer.

I wouldn't be surprised if every state except Illinois requires two hands.

How is it not the same thing? There are states that not only did not use those particular shirts, but used them openly and were NF members. Heck even in my state some shootouts or tournaments used other color shirts. The rule is clear and it has been violated on many levels. Same freakin thing.

Rule 2-1-1 says:

The official's uniform shall be black-and-white stripes shirt, black pants, primarily black shoes and socks.

No, already been adopted. But no one is blowing a wad over the change as you seem to be. And the issue again is not if it is adopted, the issue is why it needed to be changed. It did not need to be changed and it is not a better mechanic when officials have a problem doing all the other things to report a foul (clear the players, get to the reporting area, use their voice properly, use the right wording to report the number and making eye contact with the scorer).

Of course, you all realize that this new rule discriminates against Dr. Richard Kimble's antagonist.

Well, you would like to think so, at least. This is the NFHS, after all!
