2017-18 NFHS Interpretations, Pt.1

[Smitty]

2017-18 NFHS Basketball Case Book Alteration – 10.5.1 SITUATION B: At halftime, as the teams, coaches and officials are making their way through a hallway to the dressing room, a Team A member verbally abuses one of the officials. RULING: The official must decide if the offense is major. Under 4-48, if not deemed to be major and neither a warning nor technical has been charged (direct or indirect) to the head coach, the bench personnel could be issued a warning. If a warning is issued, this would be reported to both teams, recorded in the scorebook, and the head coach would lose coaching-box privileges.

The part in red can't be true. Coach doesn't lose the coaching box because of a warning, does he?

That stuck out to me as well.

Me too. Gotta be wrong. The case is familiar, and looks to be an edited version of an old case which didn't include a warning as an option. The only option in the old ruling was a T, which of course resulted in a seat belt. This was an editing oversight.

Honestly, if the NFHS just provided their interps to this forum for peer review prior to publishing, they wouldn't keep making silly mistakes like this.
