Those states that allow officials to wear other colors should be put on double secret probation. That will teach them.

It is in the Manual and the Rules Book. Rule 2-9-1 has indicated how many hands officials are "supposed" to report fouls with for however long.

Perhaps the "mechanics" are more specifically intended to cover the procedures that only officials need to know (where to stand, where to look, how to move, etc.) while rules include not just the playing rules but the bridge between the officials an those playing rules...the signals used to communicate how the rules were violated.

Players, coaches, scorers, timers, and fans couldn't care less about the former while many of them have a need to know the latter. Putting those in those in the rule book makes sense since such groups really don't need 95% of what is in the mechanics book.

Great explanation.

Texas is staying with the 14' box. For whatever reason, they like to be different about some things. They've given no reason so far why they aren't adopting this rule.

Their reason is simply that they can. It is after all their own country.

How many high school gyms are currently out of commission due to Harvey?

I honestly don't have a clue - I'm far from Houston. I'll bet quite a few, though.

I’m in Houston. Only a few were that I know of. But it could be more.

Missouri is using the 28' box. I'm fine with it and love the two-hand reporting too.

It's probably going to take me a while to get use to this. I've been doing it one handed for thirty-seven years.

Is any state foregoing the 2 hand reporting?

Texas is opting to keep the 14-foot coaching box, at least for the 17-18 season.

My understanding is it's still under consideration here in Maine.

Rich Tue Oct 03, 2017 09:36am
What is there to consider? It's a rule, isn't it?
