NFHS 2018-19 Rule Proposals ...

[JRutledge]

Having worked two camps over the past few weekends, I think I would be OK with changes to rules like resetting the fouls for each quarter, especially if the fouls are 7 per quarter. I would also be OK with the shot clock change as well, which I had been against. It will be a problem and a problem every game like I have experienced in this last camp. The shot clock will have to be constantly reset or will move when it is not supposed to, but I just say at this point, "Why not?" Everyone wants this so let them have it so they can complain about the controversies it causes and stoppages.

The sleeves/tights, compression shorts shall be black or white, and the same color sleeves/tights shall be worn by teammates.
Rationale: It makes the rule easier to understand by officials, coaches & players. We are spending more time discussing what is legal & illegal with uniforms & apparel than we are spending with hand-checking, post-play, etc. It will also put more responsibility on coaches to make sure their players are dressed legally.

All sleeves/tights, compression shorts shall be black or white and must be the same color as any headband or wristband worn.

If we're spending all this time worrying about, then GET RID of these useless color restrictions, especially below the waist. Who cares what color a knee sleeve is, no one's ever been confused by that, anymore than the color of socks.

Any "Fashion Police" rule that's made simpler is a good thing, so I like the switch to only black or white. I also like scrounge's idea to ignore from the waist down.
